Hi Viego,

Thanks for reaching out.

Private equity (PE) firms must cover their PE investments (including venture capital) with targets based on the PE Guidance, and as indicated by the footnote for this asset class in Table 5.2 of the FI Guidance. Non-PE firms can also cover PE investments or follow the FI Guidance, under which they are currently optional, though this will be subject to future updates.

Thanks,
Howard
