Venture Returns Outperform Public Markets Over Many Periods
Return potential plays a part in most individual and institutional investors’ decision criteria when reviewing investment options. But how does one compare the gains of asset classes that have different characteristics and measures of success?
In a recent white paper, we analyze objective performance comparisons between venture capital and public markets over the last several decades, based on historical data from investment firm Cambridge Associates (CA).
If your goal is to add investment opportunities that have both high return potential and strong diversification characteristics, CA’s findings show that top-quartile venture capital has outperformed the S&P over many periods.
