2020 a adus oportunități importante industriei de private equity - începând cu 1 februarie, fondurile de pensii românești pot să investească într-o nouă clasă de active - private equity.
Mai ales în România, unde piața de capital local se află în dezvoltare, private equity poate aduce o diversificare foarte binevenită în portofoliile fondurilor de pensii. La nivel global, fondurile de pensii alocă în medie între 5-7% către investițiile în private equity, dar există și fonduri cu randamente excepționale care alocă până la 20%.
Dragoș Petre, Partener și CFO Morphosis Capital a discutat cu Economica despre aceste schimbări importante, precum și despre impactul pandemiei asupra strategiei de investiții a fondului.
