Beyond the J Curve by Thomas Meyer

Beyond the J Curve by Thomas Meyer

In recent times, venture capital and private equity funds have become household names, but so far little has been written for the investors in such funds, the so--called limited partners. There is far more to the management of a portfolio of venture capital and private equity funds than usually perceived.

"..highlights why limited partners are bad performers and provides guidance for investments..." (Financial Times, 1st August 05)

"...an interesting book on a fascinating subject" (Professional Investor, Dec/Jan 05/06)
