About J.P. Morgan Private Equity Limited

J.P. Morgan Private Equity Limited is a Guernsey registered and incorporated closed-ended investment company and is designed primarily to invest in the global private equity market.

In summary, the investment objective of the Company is to achieve both short and long-term capital appreciation by investing in a well-diversified portfolio of private equity fund interests and by capitalising on the inefficiencies of the secondary private equity market.
