Hermes Private Equity

Investment philosophy

We believe that private equity has the capability of delivering enhanced risk adjusted returns to investors. This can only be achieved through an experienced team with global reach, vision and a pro active approach.

Private Equity is an illiquid asset class, however we seek to provide our clients with maximum flexibility through our annual investment funds. Each year we use a top down approach to create a portfolio capable of taking advantage of macro economic trends. We then use our bottom up management selection process to identify top quartile mangers to create a portfolio of 12 to 20 primary and secondary partnerships.
