Foreword
Information drives value.
High quality information on Private Equity is one of the key factor that drive investors worldwide to increase their allocation to this asset class.
The Private Equity and Venture Capital Research Center at EAESP-FGV University (GVcepe) offers today the most comprehensive and accurate study on the industry. The Second Census, recently released, is an in-depth, 400 page tomography of the Private Equity and Venture Capital Industry in Brazil. Many industry experts and practitioners have already started using it regularly.
The Brazilian Private Equity environment faces today a perfect combination of macro and micro socioeconomic fundamentals. We have gladly been able to contribute somewhat to this Industry’s growth providing investors worldwide with high quality research.
Your valuing of our Information drives our will for doing better research, always.
To those Investors and all the community that supports GVcepe and our studies I would like to thank you.
