Frédéric Stolar points out that Private Equity offers historical outperformance and lower volatility than listed markets, while also providing asset diversification thanks to its de-correlation with the latter, particularly during periods of economic recession. He emphasizes the asset class's historic ability to deliver impressive performance over the long term, with average returns of 12% per annum over the long term, and a resilience that is accentuated during crises, offering appreciable stability in the face of inflation and market vagaries.
