Report: Private Equity's historical outperformance through boom and bust
Download your report below.It’s easy to hide behind strong performance generated within a cycle when tailwinds blow and sentiment soars. Rather, the true mettle of an asset class (or fund manager) is tested through cycles. Only then do we see where the bodies are buried in financial markets.
While forecasting the end of a cycle with any certainty is a fraught exercise, there is no shortage of economic, social and geopolitical fissures that threaten to upend the current one. Inflation, the restrictive rates employed to tame it, geopolitical instability, China’s property sector, and burgeoning public sector debt, to name a few. And that doesn’t include the black swan events that signpost the course of history with unwelcome regularity. Long-term investors demand investments that deliver long-term performance in spite of these headwinds. Private Equity answers this call. This paper will analyse the biggest market disruptions of the last 25 years, measure private equity performance during them (and against listed markets), and discuss the key takeaways for investors.
