With over 20 years of experience and more than 350 successful Private Equity investments, BlackRock is a leading company in the Private Equity sector. Every year, the team analyzes between 800 and 1,000 investment opportunities and selects the most promising companies.
The BlackRock Private Equity Fund, offered by Scalable Capital, invests preferably in Co-investments together with renowned Private Equity companies and thus alongside the largest investors worldwide. The large global network enables BlackRock to access the best deals for the fund.
Direct access via Co-investments also allows fees to be kept low. This differs from a fund-of-funds, where a fund itself invests in several private equity funds (and not directly in the portfolio companies). The Co-investment structure can therefore avoid double-layered fees (for fund-of-funds and target funds).
You can find out more about the portfolio companies being invested in by the fund in our Deal Corner. As the fund grows in size, the number of deals will continue to increase. The fund focuses on Co-investments in which majority stakes in private companies are acquired together with an established network of leading Private Equity managers worldwide (so-called Buyouts). Additionally, some investments can for instance be directed into venture capital.
