Our aim is to position the private equity asset class in the context of the development of an investment portfolio.

We will elaborate on the pros & cons of a private equity investment in comparison to other asset classes, such as liquid investments. Next, we will zoom in on fund management (focus, selection, analysis, due diligence, investment, monitoring, distributions and winding-up). And we will conclude with the legal & tax context.
