Private equity: A new asset class
With 88% of the companies1 in private hands and a steady decline in listed companies, private equity offers private investors the opportunity to invest in innovative ‘hidden champions’ and benefit from long-term growth opportunities.
Today, companies remain in private hands for longer, which opens up opportunities for private equity. The average time to IPO has increased from 8.6 years (1992-2001) to 11.1 years (2002-2022).1 A large part of the value creation is therefore shifting to private markets.

Attractive off-market-returns
With average annual returns of 14.9% over the last 20 years, private equity outperforms traditional asset classes2 and offers investors with a long-term horizon and respective risk preference the opportunity to diversify more and optimise their risk/return profile.
Analyses by the BlackRock Investment Institute show that adding up to 20% private market investments to a traditional 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%.3

How does private equity investing work?
1
Buy
Investment managers collect funds from investors and allocate them to private market opportunities, which can include private companies, infrastructure projects, or real estate.
2
Value Creation
These investments gain value through strategic actions such as operational improvements, financial restructuring, or growth initiatives, requiring a long-term perspective.
3
Sell
Once the investment appreciates in value, managers aim to exit by selling the asset or through other liquidity events, such as public offerings, to realise profits.
Why invest in private markets?
Advantages
More decoupled development from stock markets could reduce risks
Particularly tangible assets such as real estate could offer stable long-term returns in a cycle of volatile markets.
Reduction of inflation risk through alternative investments
Due to long-term perspective, supported by illiquidity and complexity bonus
EU-wide regulated access to alternative investment funds (AIF) off the stock exchange
Participation in cross-border development of the European economy
Disadvantages and risks
Other than ETFs, with ELTIFs investments have to be deployed at once in high amounts due to their collectible investment approach into private i.e. less liquid companies
Invested money can be locked up for a certain time, thus reducing liquidity
Even after the initial lock-up period, liquidation is only possible at certain intervals and is not guaranteed. The actual fair value (also net asset value or NAV) is calculated monthly
Consisting of possibly an initial fee, management fee and performance fee
Reported volatility and its movement in correlation to public stocks appear lower than they truly are as the values are based on estimates. As a result, the reported monthly returns look smoother and less volatile
