For successful investing in private equity it is essential to constantly monitor global trends and developments in order to be able to select the top performers in the vast universe of fund managers.

Adveq analyzes more than 400 private equity funds around the world each year and every fund with investment potential undergoes a precise analysis of risk and return. In addition, a standardized method − based on a series of systematic criteria − is applied. Investment decisions are based on bottom-up and top-down processes and evaluated in a global context.

Each individual investment is closely monitored in this context in order to achieve an optimal portfolio allocation. This process, which Adveq believes to be the only one of its kind worldwide, increases the robustness of the portfolios and safeguards investors against volatility that cannot be controlled.

Adveq's range of products enables investors to access the most attractive and important sectors of the private equity market via a targeted and diversified approach. Adveq offers investors a choice of four fully transparent fund of funds investment programs:

• The Europe program invests in buyout and expansion financing and − to a small extent − in venture capital in Europe.

• The Asia program invests in venture capital, development capital and buyout opportunities in Asia.

• The Technology program invests in venture capital and technology buyouts in the US.

• The Opportunity program invests in private equity limited partnerships in the US which pursue unique investment strategies outside the traditional private equity sectors of venture capital and buyout investing.

Founded in 1997, Adveq currently manages approximately USD 4 billion of assets for its clients. Adveq’s clients consist almost entirely of international institutional investors including pension funds, insurance companies, family offices and other financial services providers, located primarily in Europe, Asia, Australia and the United States.
