The investment risks of private equity funds are:
The risk of opaque information. Because private equity funds do not have strict information disclosure requirements, information opacity is the biggest risk of private equity funds. Investment planning, fund allocation, project tracking management and all other processes involving investment operation management may have insufficient information disclosure. Fund managers have different abilities. Due to the lack of strict industry access standards, there are obvious differences in fund managers' management ability, industry status and market recognition. In the same market environment, some fund managers can bring benefits to investors with accurate investment, while some fund managers may cause losses to investors. The risk of illegally absorbing public deposits. Some private equity funds will attract investors to participate in investment by deliberately exaggerating income and concealing projects, and these private placements are likely to illegally absorb public deposits.
