Vikash Gupta shares trends on direct investments by family offices

VAR Capital CEO Vikash Gupta was recently interviewed by Robert Geen of Unquote on the trends of Private Equity investments by Family Offices.

Unquote is one of the leading Private Equity publications, owned by the same company as Mergermarket and Debtwire.

Vikash said that while earlier, many families invested in Private Equity funds, they are now taking direct stakes due to lower fees and an increasing interest in getting more involved with their investments. In many cases, they have better sector experience and can put together a financing plan quicker than a Private Equity firm. The other reason for this trend is that PE funds have fixed time horizons whereas families can take a longer term views on their investments.
