N&W Private Equity

With partners in Private Markets.

N&W Private Equity invests in Private Markets together with renowned partners: funds and, where it fits, direct participations.

Sourcing and selection

Selection is decisive: together with its partners, N&W Private Equity chooses carefully what it invests in.

Renowned partners

Through lasting, strong relationships with renowned parties we enter the right funds: a strong complement to the portfolio and to our long-term strategy.

Building the future

Beyond return and diversification, Private Markets offer the opportunity to take part in building the future.

We do not report on individual funds or managers.

Long horizon

Sow first, harvest later.

Private equity takes patience. In the early years capital is called and invested; distributions follow only once companies have grown and been sold. Permanent capital carries those early years without outside pressure. It is the same principle as in our real estate: build first, harvest later.

Three forms

Closer to the company, more direct involvement.

Through funds we invest with renowned managers, spread across years and strategies. Where we know a company well, we invest directly alongside our partner. And where it fits, we take a stake of our own with the same long horizon.

  • Funds

    Commitments to renowned managers with a proven approach, spread over years and strategies.

  • Co-investments

    Investing directly alongside our partners in companies we know well.

  • Direct holdings

    Where it fits: a stake of our own in a company, with the same long horizon as the rest of the portfolio.

Diversification

Spread across vintages and strategies.

Commitments do not land in one year or one theme. By investing across several vintages and strategies, the result does not depend on the moment of entry or on a single market cycle.
