Diversify your investments with Private Equity
Would you like to diversify your portfolio beyond traditional equities, bonds and commodities by opening it up to other asset classes? Private Equity represents an opportunity to diversify your investment portfolio. By taking a stake in unlisted companies, you are investing in businesses with high growth potential.
From an asset allocation perspective, Private Equity has its place in a diversified portfolio and offers a wide range of investment opportunities. Jérôme Zahnen, Head of Private Equity
What are the benefits of Private Equity?
Of the many benefits that Private Equity offers, two stand out:
- In performance terms, Private Equity has historically delivered a higher return than traditional asset classes over the long term 1.
- Private Equity also increases a portfolio’s diversification and exposes it to a part of the economy that cannot be accessed through traditional products. For example, 86% of all companies with sales in excess of USD 250 million are privately held. 2.

What are the risks?
- Liquidity risk: Private Equity investments are made via unlisted assets which, by definition, are not liquid. Investments may be subject to a blocking period during which they cannot be sold.
- Investment risk: Private Equity investments are long-term investments (generally at least 10 years). Before investing, you need to be sure that you have the necessary funds to be able to meet the various calls for funds.
As a general rule, any investment involves risk – particularly capital loss (total or partial).
