The excess rate of return that an investor may achieve above that of more liquid securities is known as the illiquidity premium. Investors generally expect a higher return as compensation for holding assets that are less liquid and therefore may be more difficult to convert into cash.
Investors typically gain access to private equity through fund structures or separate accounts, and less frequently through investments directly into operating companies.
