Welcome to the Era of Reasonable Alternatives
Executive Summary
Tribune on the rise of private equity as a reasonable alternative to listed investments. From TINA to TARA: unlisted assets take center stage.
Context of the Discussion
This op-ed with Gestion de Fortune addresses investment themes and market dynamics relevant to private equity and unlisted company financing.
Editorial Summary
In this op-ed published in Gestion de Fortune, Frédéric Zablocki analyzes the evolution of the savings landscape at a time when rising rates are ending the era of 'TINA' (There Is No Alternative). According to him, current conditions mark entry into a new phase: that of 'TARA' (There Are Reasonable Alternatives), where private equity becomes a credible and prudent option for investors wishing to move away from the volatility of listed markets without shifting to overly risky assets.
He emphasizes that, faced with uncertainties related to inflation, rate variations and the degradation of certain technology stocks, no traditional asset class can now constitute alone the long-term answer for savers. Unlisted assets then occupy a central place: they allow financing companies that create value and employment while anchoring in the real economy.
For Frédéric Zablocki, unlisted investment requires capital immobilization over several years, but it offers a rational, diversified exposure oriented towards the tangible growth of SMEs, a positioning that fully corresponds to Entrepreneur Invest's DNA.
