Adveq looks at the next ten years of successful investing
Zurich, Switzerland, June 13, 2007 – This year sees Adveq, the Swiss private equity fund of funds investment management company, celebrate its 10th anniversary. On reaching this milestone, Adveq considers some of the future driving forces behind the industry.
Founded in 1997, Adveq has grown to become one of Europe’s leading independent private equity fund of funds. It currently manages assets of USD 3 billion in four dedicated programs – Adveq Technology, Adveq Europe, Adveq Opportunity and Adveq Asia - each investing across all stages of private equity. The firm has a growing base of institutional investors from around the globe.
Over the past decade Adveq has experienced a rapid evolution of the private equity industry and expects that the sector will retain the significant role in modern portfolio management that it plays today. Adveq expects fundamental changes to continue to shape the industry and sees a number of specific trends that will characterize it in the future.
Bruno E. Raschle, Chief Executive Officer of Adveq, says: “The globalization of the private equity industry will certainly see it play an important role as a driver of economic change and business model efficiency increases everywhere. The growth of the private equity market in Asia is here to stay and will be a key factor in the development of many industry sectors in the region. The inflow of capital into private equity shows no sign of slowing and institutional investors globally will continue to allocate ever greater amounts of capital to the sector and will continue to expect private equity to strongly outperform the public markets.”
He added: “It will be important in the future that private equity is able to conserve its advantages, including a certain degree of opaqueness that many believe is core to its ability to generate superior returns. Above all, private equity must retain its long-term view and demonstrate continuity, dedication and the constant ability to reinvent itself. At Adveq, we look forward to playing our part in the future of this exciting and dynamic industry.”
