Private equity

Quaestor, leading in private equity for over 20 years.

Quaestor invests in unlisted companies through specialized investment funds, which are carefully screened and selected by our in-house and experienced private equity team.

Such funds often have a high entry threshold, making them almost exclusively accessible for institutional players. By using a feeder fund, this threshold is significantly lowered, giving our investors access to an exclusive offering.

As the lifespan of a fund usually spans 10 years, private equity investments are typically long-term in nature. Capital commitments are drawn down over multiple years, ensuring disciplined investing over time and across market cycles.

Private equity returns reflect the equal-weighted IRR over the specified period. All cash flow and NAV data from a group of funds are combined to arrive at an IRR. In doing so, the data is scaled relative to fund size so that each fund has the same impact on the bottom line regardless of size. The historical returns shown are net returns. The Morningstar Global Markets Index is a total return index that measures in USD the performance of large, medium and small market capitalization stocks listed in developed and emerging countries around the world. The underlying participations represent 97% of the investable market by market capitalization. Index returns shown are annualized over the specific period. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.

Fund selection is crucial.

There are considerable differences in returns among private equity funds. The best-performing 25% of funds deliver a significantly higher average annual compound return compared to the lowest-performing funds. Therefore, thorough screening and selection are essential for optimizing your returns.
