Private Equity Asset Allocation

GlobalFinance advises and manages private equity accounts for investors on an individual and customised basis. This includes services to regulated industries such as insurance. We build and restructure the portfolios in close communication with our clients, performing top-down and bottom-up processes on a transparent and well-reported basis. Unlike pure fund managers we have been doing deals with many private equity firms and know the managers on the transaction level, i.e. the area where the value is really created. This may lead to an entirely different judgement than the one based on pure due diligence and statistical findings. As a result, we feel able to deliver the best mix of personal access, inside information and risk management to our clients.
