SECA Booklet Nr. 1 - Le private equity suisse : acteurs, investissements et performance

Private equity is an ever evolving investment strategy. This book tackles with the challenge of defining what is private equity, how it is evolving, where it is heading. The authors put in perspective the evolution of this sector and how Switzerland has developed its spe-cific way of financing start-ups, of developing companies, or restruc-turing them. It challenges the view that private equity is yet another financial instrument. Private equity and entrepreneurship are sym-biotic, and Switzerland has to capitalize on its specificities to further benefit from this "financial ecosystem".
