Why to include Venture in your investment Portfolio?
Venture capital is a fundamental asset class empowering innovation, enabling the next generation of entrepreneurs to provide innovative technologies and solutions for industry, fostering a dynamic and competitive business environment. Venture as an asset class offers investors potential for high returns uncorrelated from other public market asset classes. Operating at the leading edge of disruptive technologies, venture investing is multi stage, across a wide range of sectors, and offers strong portfolio diversification potential.
