 Good historical returns of top funds: Venture
needs to be part of an investor’s portfolio
 Expansion Capital offers an attractive,
mainstream asset for an investor portfolio

seed, early stage expansion investments will
provide higher returns in the next years
of likely subdued macroeconomic climate
