Summary of the Echos article:
Private equity is a fast-growing sector in Europe, with a record 85 billion euros to be raised by 2021. However, the sector remains little-known and inaccessible to individual investors, who account for less than 5% of investors in private equity funds.
According to the article, this is partly due to the complexity and high cost of private equity investment, which often requires high minimum investment amounts and significant management fees. In addition, private equity is a relatively unregulated sector, which can lead to significant downside risks for unsophisticated investors.
However, the article also points out that the situation is changing, with the emergence of new online investment platforms that are making it easier and cheaper for individual investors to access private equity funds. These platforms, such as Anaxago, WiSEED and Sowefund, offer lower entry fees, reduced management fees and greater transparency on investments made.
According to the article, this democratization of private equity is a fundamental trend that is set to continue in the years ahead, not least because of the search for high returns by retail investors in a low interest rate environment. However, the article also points out that this democratization must be accompanied by greater regulation and transparency on the risks and performance of private equity funds, to protect retail investors and boost confidence in the sector.
In conclusion, the article highlights the fact that private equity is a fast-growing sector in Europe, but one that remains little-known and inaccessible to individual investors. However, the emergence of new online investment platforms should enable a gradual democratization of this sector, against a backdrop of retail investors' search for high returns. This democratization must, however, be accompanied by greater regulation and transparency concerning the risks and performance of private equity funds.
