PRIVATE equity, which invests in private companies, is typically classed as a high-risk investment - for good reasons. It is illiquid, requires a high minimum investment, and the risk of picking a poor-performing manager is high.

Retail investors are usually unable to invest in private equity, not only due to regulations but also because the best managers shun retail monies.
