HVPE looks to the future

HarbourVest Global Private Equity Limited (HVPE), a closed-end investment company, today presents its 10:10 Global Investment “Megatrends” survey, which shares insights on the big trends in private markets over the next 10 years and explains how the company is accessing these for investors.

It says that in the next decade, the key megatrends to watch are:

A technological leap-forward that will revolutionise the home, workplace and healthcare;

Demographic shifts – an ageing population in developed markets driving new investment opportunities in healthcare that can be scaled with technology;

The global role of China - China’s increasing influence across the globe and in private markets.

Richard Hickman, director of investment and operations, HVPE, commented: “HVPE has built a 10-year track record of outperformance via its unique access to HarbourVest funds. Alongside traditional private equity buyouts, HVPE has also invested early in disruptive technologies emerging from the rapid growth of the internet and smartphone penetration, in geographical opportunities like Asia, and in the broader success of venture and secondaries.”
