They are becoming an appealing private equity proposition in South-east Asia due mainly to the low-yield environment.
Add BT as a preferred sourceIS direct and co-investment in private equity on the rise in South-east Asia, and what difference does it make?

What are direct and co-investments, and how do they differ from traditional methods of private equity financing? At its simplest, under the traditional model, General Partners manage the fund concerned, while Limited Partners invest in it. There is a clear delineation between the two, in that General Partners manage the operations, due diligence, investing and exit decisions, while Limited Partners reap the rewards or losses and do not interfere in the investment strategy.
