The consulting firm Mackewicz & Partner Investment Advisers has calculated the returns on private equity investments in Europe (Europe Buyout) in the period from the beginning of 1991 to the end of 2018. The result: a sustainable average yield of 13.9% was achieved here. The best investment vehicles (top 5%) even achieved more than 33%.
