Private equity

Quaestor, a leader in private equity for more than 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.

Since the term of a fund is typically 10 years, investing in private equity is typically longer-term. Committed capital is called in over several years, automatically disciplining investment through time and market cycles.

Private equity returns reflect 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 critical.

Within private equity, there are significant differences between funds in terms of returns. The 25% best performing funds achieve an average annual compound return that is significantly higher than that of the least performing funds. Therefore, screening and selection are critical to your returns.
