Superior access

We can provide investors with an optimum and risk diversified return by affording access to the best available fund managers and co-investments in Europe. We have a wealth of experience in the private equity market. Standard Life has been active in the private equity field for 25 years, over which time it has developed a reputation that gives it access to the best investment opportunities.

Through our network of business contacts, which covers virtually all European private equity opportunities, we provide superior access to the top-tier fund investments that are typically inaccessible to all but a few select investors. We also have a history of making co-investments in combination with other fund managers. It is this close working relationship which means that we are typically offered the best co-investment opportunities and preferred co-investor status.
