Aberdeen Private Equity Fund (APEF) provides access to a globally diversified portfolio of private equity funds and co-investments with a bias towards the US and technology. Recent changes to the manager’s corporate structure have not specifically affected the fund but have brought direct investment and Asian expertise in-house. Share price performance ytd has been flat, while NAV gains have widened the discount. As the cycle matures there may be scope for it to narrow again, realisations may be the catalyst.
