Private equity: Direct or indirect investment
Professional and institutional investors can invest directly or indirectly in high-growth, unlisted companies. The private equity asset class promises an attractive return because it has a higher risk premium. It is also well suited for risk diversification.

The return drivers of private equity
With private market investments, institutional investors benefit from return drivers such as illiquidity premiums, complexity premiums or premiums through direct influence. The attractiveness of these return drivers lies in the fact that they offer higher and more diversified risk premiums than investments in liquid markets. Attractiveness is particularly high when traditional investment instruments offer low expected returns.
