Abstract Text Private equity is an asset class which claims to generate consistent, long-term outperformance for its investors and should be one of the critical components of any investors’ portfolio. In recent years alternative financial investment opportunities have closed the gap to traditional asset classes. This paper builds on existing literature, establishes a theoretical framework, and makes statements about performance differences and crisis resilience based on data analysis and interviews. The report finds enhanced outperformance of 3.63% p.a. over the last 20 years for private equity compared to public markets. Additionally, private equity markets show more stability and resilience during crises.
