Description
FYB 2024The cutting-edge focus topics in the new FYB 2023 issue are ESG, what opportunities exist for private investors in climate-friendly infrastructure, and impact investing. We would like to thank Jan Philipp Schmitz, Head of ARDIAN Germany and Asia, for his welcome address in FYB 2022, in which he summarizes the last 20 years of private equity. He continues to see a positive development for the industry, which will also become increasingly anchored in broader sections of society as the “democratization” of private equity progresses, i.e. growing access for private investors.
Another major sign of confidence is the fact that institutional investors such as pension funds, insurance companies and foundations are increasingly raising their allocation ratios to private equity, especially as private equity has become an increasingly liquid asset class in recent years due to the strong growth in the secondary market for fund units.
