The facts
Venture Capital
Hardly any other asset class has attracted more attention in recent years than venture capital. Many of today's most successful companies were able to develop revolutionary technologies as start-ups with the help of venture capital. However, venture capital is also a convincing asset class with potentially above-average returns - especially in the early stage segment: since 2008, the best venture capital funds have not only outperformed the stock market, but also the private equity market. private equity funds outperform private equity funds. Due to the often low correlation with established markets, the addition of venture capital can also reduce the overall risk of portfolios.

The most renowned managers for repeatable success
Even more than with private equity the success of venture capital investments depends on the quality of the fund manager. Because the range between successful and less successful managers in venture capital is very broad and the most renowned managers reliably generate above-average returns, access is the be-all and end-all in this asset class. Due to the high demand, these established managers are highly selective in choosing their investors and often have long waiting lists.
