Private equity fund of fund management

Funds of funds are becoming more widespread as investors increasingly see them as a good way of diversifying their portfolios. This presentation by Urs Wietlisbach of Partners Group outlines a strategic approach to investing in private equity funds of funds and the ways in which different management styles can be taken into consideration.

Investors should be aware that funds of funds approach investing in two distinct ways: by taking a top-down or a bottom-up approach. Investors must also not lose sight of product and data, including such factors as accounting, monitoring and reporting.
