It would be safe to say there's a lot of money on the sidelines waiting for investments that have the potential to produce dramatic returns.

Stocks continue to produce tremendous returns in 2013, but most investors remain antsy about major corrections that some analysts forecast, as well as the periodic pauses or adjustments that disrupt the the upward symmetric pattern on equity charts.

Taking that market sentiment into account, it would appear that Warburg Pincus happened to be in the right place at the right time.  Their latest private equity fund attracted over $11 billion - sorry, it's closed -  and that money is earmarked for deals across an various industry sectors - including energy, financial services, technology and media.

And if you were not already aware, the new fund - a crowning achievement for Warburg Pincus - is one of the biggest private equity ("PE") fund-raising rounds since the end of the financial crisis.
