What is the VanEck Global Listed Private Equity ETF (GPEQ)?

Follow the smart money. Many of the most compelling investment opportunities cannot be found on the stock market. 98% of companies worldwide are private and have historically been the domain of venture capital firms and professional investors. 

With the GPEQ ETF, you can gain access to start-ups, buy-outs and much more. This means you could access the next Google, eBay or Airbnb.

Traditionally, direct investments in private companies and in private equity funds require:

• Large capital outlays

• Long lockup periods

• Investors taking a concentrated, illiquid exposure to a small number of private companies – which are often leveraged

The GPEQ ETF offers investors a transparent portfolio of listed and liquid direct and indirect private equity, as well as private equity managers – all in the one ASX ETF. 

Private equity provides important diversification benefits. It also has the potential to generate strong returns over the long term.
