Responsible investment in private equity – a guide for limited partnersp

This guide describes some of the unique characteristics of private equity investments and provides suggestions on how the PRI Principles could be applied to the asset class. It aims to help LPs assess the extent to which a GP’s investment and ownership processes are consistent with the LP’s own commitments as a PRI signatory. Its scope addresses engagement and information that an LP can consider both before investing in a fund and during the life of that fund. The guide can be applied to any type of PE investment including: venture capital; mid-market; large buy-out; mezzanine; secondary investments; distressed and special situations; and funds of funds.
