Our expertise in private equity

Investing in private equity since the 1980s, we have developed solid industry knowledge which has been pivotal in accessing and building lasting relationships with top quartile private equity managers.

Our aim is to offer our clients significant premium returns above those of public equity markets.

Pictet possesses one of the top private equity track records in the industry. In 1999, a dedicated private equity group was integrated within Pictet Alternative Investments. Since then, it has made over 100 discretionary investments in funds and co-investments, generating returns that have outperformed both the US and European top quartile benchmark each year.

The Portfolio Management & Research team follows a robust analytical approach to investing in private equity based on the foundations of risk management, process and due diligence. Each of our fund investments undergoes a thorough, standardised and documented selection process to ensure that our top quartile track record is sustained over the long term.
