PEGCC Q3 2014 Performance Update: Private Equity Investments best S&P 500 over long-term

24 March 2015

PEGCC President and CEO: “The value of private equity is how strong and consistent it performs over the long term. This update is the latest reminder that private equity continues to be the top performing asset class, net of fees, for public pensions, charitable foundations, among others.”

Bronwyn Bailey, Vice President of Research for the PEGCC, explained that private equity will more consistently outperform public markets as the financial crisis moves further into the past. “Private equity returns are less volatile than public equity, and the year-to-year analysis in this Performance Update shows that private equity is the consistent, long-term winner for investors,” said Bailey.

The PEGCC’s measure for private equity fund performance is based on the median of publicly available benchmarks.
