Private equity involves a long-term investment in unlisted companies . It provides investors with potential for higher returns than traditional share market investments because the investments are made at an earlier stage in the business's life cycle.
Colonial First State Diversified Private Equity Fund (DPEF) is a terminating 10-year trust comprising more than1,500 retail investors. The Fund, established in 2001, gives investors exposure to unlisted companies across a broad range of industries and business life cycle stages.
The Fund is closed and is in the final stages of realising all investments and returning capital to unitholders.
