The 6 Golden Rules of Private Equity

Since 1972, Maurice Tchenio has weathered numerous economic cycles and supported hundreds of companies. This experience has led him to a firm conviction: in private equity, long-term performance does not depend on a single decision, but on a rigorous investment approach.

This method is based on six golden rules:

1. Determine what portion of one's assets can be invested in private equity.

2. Commit to a long-term strategy.

3. Spread your investments across several vintages.

4. Select the best fund managers.

5. Anticipate and manage your cash flow.

6. Stay the course throughout economic cycles.

These principles are inseparable. Investing in private equity is not just about selecting high-performing funds; it is about gradually building a coherent, diversified portfolio that is tailored to one’s wealth management goals.

In this new educational note, Maurice Tchenio shares the lessons he has learned from 50 years of experience, successes, mistakes, and learning. A practical approach to better understanding the unique characteristics of private equity and creating the conditions necessary to fully realize its potential.
