A broader universe of opportunities
Did you know that over 95% of companies are not listed on the stock market? If you only invest in public markets, you are missing out on the vast majority of the universe.
What is
Private Equity?
Investment beyond the stock market, in companies that grow in private markets.
Higher return potential
In recent years, private equity funds have consistently outperformed the main equity index. At Crescenta, we offer funds with historical simulated returns above 15%*
Lower volatility
Private markets are much less exposed to market swings, so including private equity funds will reduce your portfolio's volatility. These types of funds feature a highly attractive risk-return profile.

Venture Capital and Private Equity Growth
The fund Sequoia Capital leads a 7.2 million dollar investment. The following year, more investors enter with 112 million dollars. The money is used to build the mobile app, expand into Europe, and hire engineers and experienced executives. The company reaches a valuation of 1 billion dollars (becomes a "Unicorn").
Buyouts
Large traditional Private Equity firms (such as Silver Lake and TPG) inject billions of dollars.
They finance the acquisition of smaller competing companies worldwide and launch new products (such as "Airbnb Experiences"). The private valuation skyrockets to 31 billion dollars.
