An article published on Feb. 1 by Private Equity International and Private Funds Management discusses what populist parties sweeping Europe mean for the European Union and how reforms in other countries are affecting private equity. The article quotes private investment funds partner Matthew Posthuma (Chicago) on risk in Brazil. “What makes the investments worth the risk is faith in long-term macro trends, such as a young population, vast natural resources and western culture as key advantages over other emerging markets. Most of all, these investors see the wave of scandals as a commitment to transparency,” stated Mr. Posthuma in the piece.
