Edison issues initiates coverage of Aberdeen Private Equity Fund

Aberdeen Private Equity Fund Ltd (APEF) is a private equity (PE) fund of funds, diversified by geography, investment type and stage, but with a high weighting to technology and venture capital that has helped it to achieve strong NAV and share price performance over the past year. A cash buffer of c 15% is held to meet commitments without having to liquidate portfolio holdings. The investment process focuses on detailed due diligence to ensure robustness of underlying manager selection. The discount to NAV has been stable at c 20-25% over the past year, but there is scope for it to narrow to a level more in line with peers.
