Private equity involves owning shares or interests in companies that are not listed on public stock exchanges. This type of investment can offer higher returns compared to more traditional investments, and it allows investors to have a specific stake in a company under well-monitored conditions.
- Co-investment with experts: The chance to invest alongside leading entrepreneurs, investment managers, and industry experts who have substantial personal wealth in the same funds
- Portfolio diversification: Private equity funds are actively managed funds of private companies, offer investors the chance to achieve uncorrelated attractive returns. They allow for investment across different vintages, sectors, geographies, and strategies
- Unique access: Opportunity to access top-tier managers that are typically unavailable and have historically been exclusive to institutional investors
- Expanded opportunities: Private equity opens up access to an expansive array of opportunities, especially within the emerging markets and technology sectors
- Decreased market fluctuation: Exhibit lower valuation volatility in comparison to other asset classes
- Strategic timing advantage: Private equity managers benefit from the advantage of timing, needing time to fulfil their investment goals, unlike the public markets
- High growth potential: Private equity offers considerable potential upsurge, driven by the patient long-term capital approach which sidesteps the short-term, quarter-to-quarter focus of public companies. Although there is a perception that private equity primarily aims at cost reduction, these strategies usually concentrate on executing long-term expansion plans to improve revenue and EBITDA growth
