Top quartile performance

With the strong growth of the private equity market in the last ten years the European market has become more complicated to follow and analyze for an investor choosing to invest in this segment. In order to generate “top quartile” performance ACG believes it is essential to have a deep understanding of the regional and local markets, to have the resources and experience to evaluate it, and to have a very rigorous method of investment selection.

Over 50 private equity funds

ACG Private Equity since its creation has been an investor in over 50 private equity funds, all independent teams who have been able to repeatedly demonstrate their ability to protect their investor’s capital and make superior returns in good and bad economic cycles. ACG has never lost its investor’s capital.
