Netherlands: private equity market size 2007-2019

Private equity investments in the Netherlands in 2019 were around three times higher than the disinvestments. Private equity is a form of investment into private companies that are not listed on the stock exchange. It is seen a medium to long-term investment, and is usually characterized by active ownership. Typically, the investors are high net worth individuals and large institutional investors. On the other hand, there are also companies that specialize in buying companies and then sell them on again. This, to a certain degree, is reflected in the disinvestments figure. One of the most well-known examples of such a company in the Netherlands, which was acquired by an investment group with the purpose of being sold on for profit, is retailer HEMA.
