Why invest in private equity?

Private equity significantly outperforms public markets over the long term. For example, KKR funds have posted a gross internal rate of return of 25.5% since 1976, compared to 12.2% for the S&P 500, a difference of more than 13 points in annual performance (Financial Times, 2025). At the same time, the number of privately financed companies continues to grow, while the number of publicly traded companies is declining (halved in 20 years) — reinforcing the strategic nature of private equity investments via LASSIE PE.

A digital solution designed for professionals

A rigorous and international selection of funds

    LASSIE PE is much more than a tool for accessing private markets. It is an end-to-end platform that integrates:

    • Continuous and simplified operations management, including KYC
    • Product education support, via webinars and dedicated training courses
    • Marketing tools to boost portfolios, with 12 to 15 new funds offered each year
    • A seamless, centralized experience designed for institutional investors and CGPs

Our methodology is based on a dual top-down and bottom-up approach, combining long-term macroeconomic allocation with careful selection of the best international managers.

Each year, we analyze a universe of more than 3,800 funds and select only 12 to 15 of them, following a rigorous due diligence process conducted in collaboration with our partners.

The selection criteria include:

  • The 4 Ps: People, Performance, Process, Philosophy,
  • Alignment with the overall strategic allocation,
  • Peer analysis to identify the best-performing managers in their category.

A diversified and balanced allocation

Each year, the LASSIE PE fund portfolio is structured around five main areas of diversification:

  • Type: Venture Capital, Growth, Buyout, Credit,
  • Geography: Europe, North America, Asia,
  • Size: Small/Mid/Large/Mega Buyout,
  • Sector: B2B Software, Healthcare, Industry, Finance, etc.,
  • Timing: Opportunities spread throughout the year.

Selection and execution process

The LASSIE PE platform is based on a rigorous and selective fund selection method, developed in partnership and structured in three stages:

  1. Preliminary screening of more than 3,800 international funds,
  2. Pre-recommendation of a shortlist of 20 to 25 funds with visits and in-depth due diligence,
  3. Final selection submitted to a vote by our independent investment committee.

We apply a holistic top-down and bottom-up approach, combining:

  • A strategic macroeconomic allocation tailored to major private market trends (top-down),
  • A granular analysis of managers based on historical performance, strategy reproducibility, and the 4P approach (bottom-up): People, Performance, Process, Philosophy.

Each year, 12 to 15 funds are selected based on an advanced diversification strategy along five axes:
strategy, geography, size, sector, timing.

Execution is carried out directly with the selected funds or via our partner insurers, without any flows passing through LS Advisors, ensuring total security and transparency.
