Private Equity: unlisted investments

Private equity involves investing in unlisted companies at various stages of their growth. This includes financing start-ups and taking over mature companies. Private equity focuses on the real economy and helps develop the economic fabric of the communities in which the companies operate.

Smaller fluctuations in value and limited correlation with other asset classes are key characteristics of private equity. This provides increased diversification and improves the risk/return profile of your portfolio, while offering a potentially higher expected return than traditional asset classes.

Note that with private equity, the minimum investment is significantly higher than that of traditional investments and the investment timeframe is long (at least 10 years). The main risks are those of capital losses and limited liquidity.
