What is private equity?

In private equity, (institutional) investors invest capital in companies that are not listed on the stock exchange. This can be done at various stages of the business cycle, from start-ups to mature companies that need capital for growth or expansion.

Why invest in private equity?

There are several reasons to invest in private equity:

  • Potential for higher returns: Private equity funds seek higher returns than listed stocks. This is because they invest in companies with high growth potential, and because they are actively involved in the development of these companies.
  • Diversification: Private equity can be a valuable addition to your investment portfolio because it has a different risk profile than listed equities.
  • Impact investing: Private equity allows you to invest in companies that make a positive impact on society or the environment.

How does investing in private equity work?

Investing in private equity is through funds managed by professional managers. These managers identify interesting investment opportunities, structure the deals and monitor the performance of the underlying companies.

The risks of private equity

Of course, in addition to the potential benefits, there are also risks associated with private equity:

  • Illiquidity: Private equity investments are illiquid, meaning you can't just sell them.
  • High entry fees: Private equity funds often charge high entry fees.
  • Risk of loss: Investing in businesses always involves risk of loss.
