In his welcome address for FYB 2021, Jeremy Golding, founder and managing director of Golding Capital Partners, who was our title sponsor in the first FYB issues and who, as an experienced fund of funds investor, has excellent international market knowledge, writes, "... the private equity industry is crisis-tested and has already shown itself to be quite resilient during the global financial crisis and the dotcom crisis. Even now, the signs are good that private equity investments will defy the crisis and give cause for optimism."
