Based on the quantitative analysis of historic private equity
statistics, shaPE has developed a model portfolio that builds the basis
for the investment strategy. In addition to
the diversification across regions and stages of the companies, the
portfolio is diversified across industry sectors and vintage years.
Within each of the segments of the model
portfolio, shaPE identifies a group of fund managers with outstanding
track records and strategies. Each of these fund managers is then
thoroughly tested during an extensive due
diligence. shaPE will invest only in a limited number of private equity
funds that have proven to be among the very best within its segment
throughout the disciplined
implementation of the selection process.
