The Benefits of Consistent Private Equity Allocation
How should private equity investors respond to elevated deal multiples and increased public market volatility?
HarbourVest’s analysis suggests that they should stay the course. Attempts to time the market would likely be ill-advised, as the cost of potentially missing good vintages outweighs the cost of being invested in low-performing ones. Consistent investment in a broadly diversified private equity portfolio maximizes risk-adjusted returns.
