F&C Private Equity Trust aims to exploit the growth of private equity globally to generate superior returns to the quoted markets.
In recent years the Trust’s portfolio has broadened considerably, most notably into Continental Europe where the Manager has benefited from the expansion of the use of private equity to finance the growth of smaller and medium-sized companies.
Managers seek to unlock value from unquoted companies and the venture capital sector. The Trust is well diversified by industry, geography and stage of investment.
Private equities are equity securities of companies that are not listed on a public stock exchange. Private equities are generally illiquid and so must be thought of as a long-term investment.
F&C Private Equity Trust plc is an investment company within the meaning of Section 833 of the Companies Act 2006. Registered in Scotland, Company Registration No. 179412. Registered Office: 80 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 3BU.
