Crisis after crisis, private equity builds long-term performance

Private equity does not promise the impossible. But it does embody a powerful idea: resilience as a driver of performance. Time and again, through each crisis, it proves its ability to absorb shocks and generate long-term value. In an op-ed for Les Échos, Estelle Dolla shared Private Corner’s core belief: this asset class draws its strength from its very structure.

A naturally resilient asset class

"At first glance, illiquidity may appear as a constraint for private market investors. Yet, it gives this asset class a major advantage: the ability to weather successive crises," explains Estelle Dolla.

Why is that?

  • Because in the absence of daily valuations, there is no room for panic.

  • Because investors are committed over the long term, fostering better-aligned governance.

  • Because funds managers can operate without the pressure of short-term market swings.

The importance of selecting top-tier funds managers

Performance is first and foremost driven by the quality of the managers. The gap between a top-quartile fund and a bottom-quartile one can exceed 20 percentage points — a substantial difference. This is the core of our business: selecting high-performing managers with strategies tailored to sophisticated private investors.
