Ulrich Lossen explores the choice of portfolio strategies by private equity firms and the impact of this choice on funds’ performance. Therefore, he applies advanced econometric methods to a unique data set of private equity funds. In a first step, he analyzes the influence of external factors on the choice of private equity firms to diversify their portfolios across different dimensions, such as financing stages, industries, and geographic regions. Then, he examines the impact of such diversification on private equity funds’ performance. The findings can help investors and private equity managers in making proper investment decisions.
