Managing Diversified Portfolios

The book investigates the relationship between diversification and performance in private equity portfolios, an area less explored compared to public corporations. Daniel Klier employs a two-tier research design, first comparing diversification-performance links between the two sectors using innovative methodologies, including unique data from Preqin and Dealogic. The second part involves an exploratory study based on interviews with decision-makers from 20 prominent private equity firms, revealing three distinct management models and their impact on performance.
