Where Would You Invest In Private Equity?

Poll results are back for Our First Poll here at the PureVC blog.  73% of responders indicated that they would not invest in the Blackstone IPO. I was among the nays of the group.

I'm not sure what it means, but it clearly shows that readers of this blog can taste the frothiness of PE firm valuations. It will be interesting to see how this closely followed IPO turns out. The rumor mill has been churning these last few weeks of an Apollo Management and a KKR filing. I can't wait to get my hands on the filings and see what has been behind those closed doors.

So now it is time for our second poll. In an effort to stimulate some thought and in light of all of the emails I have received about the different types of private equity, this week's poll wants to know if you had to choose one category of private equity in which to invest, which would it be: Venture Capital, Buyout Funds, Hedge Funds, or Real Estate?

Once again, the poll password is purevc

Is there a way to see older polls? Like some sort of poll archive? You might just want to make a post (or use the Vizu Blog Polling post) and use it as an archive, updating it each time you make a new poll.
