“Notwithstanding the attractive returns private equity may offer, there are many potential pitfalls for investors. Mathonet and Meyer have done an excellent job (again) in helping investors avoid such pitfalls and build a robust portfolio of private equity funds. Written for practitioners, their new book provides a theoretically sound basis for those seeking exposure to this asset class. I can strongly recommend it.”

“J-Curve Exposure is a top-notch distillation of experience and current theory. Pierre-Yves Mathonet and Thomas Meyer do not shrink from proposing solutions to some of private equity’s toughest challenges regarding valuation, portfolio construction / allocation, risk management and modeling.
