Private equity: A growing asset class

Currently, 88% of companies2 are privately held. As a result a significant number of companies are not directly investible. Companies remain private for longer. The average time to IPO increased from 8.6 years (1992-2001) to 11.1 years (2002-2025)2. This moves a significant portion of value creation into private markets.

Private equity presents an opportunity for investors to invest into innovative 'hidden champions' and benefit from long-term growth opportunities.

Attractive off-market-returns

With average annual returns of 14.9% over the last 20 years, private equity has outperformed the global stock market3. The asset class can offer additional diversification and an optimised risk/return profile to suitable investors with a long investment horizon and sufficient risk tolerance.

Analyses by the BlackRock Investment Institute show that adding up to 20% private market investments to a traditional 60/40 portfolio (60% equities, 40% bonds) can improve the risk-return profile: The expected return increases from 5.5% to 7.2%, while the risk increases only slightly from 11.3% to 12.7%.4

Why invest in private equity?

Advantages

Get access to an asset class previously only available to large professional clients and family offices.

Expand the investment universe by investing in private companies unavailable on the stock markets.

The sponsor leads each deal and focuses on operational and financial performance improvements over the holding period.

Private equity can enhance the performance of an existing stock market portfolio.

Disadvantages and risks

Invested money can be locked up for an uncertain time period. Redemptions are not guaranteed on a specific date.

The fund is not traded on-exchange. The value of the fund (net asset value or NAV) is determined only monthly by the fund management company.

Total fees (consisting of management fees and possibly performance fees) can be higher than those for public equity funds.

Reported volatility and its correlation to public stocks can appear lower than they truly are as the fair value of the fund can be based on estimates. As a result, the reported monthly returns can look smoother and less volatile.
