Private equity funds
In accordance with requirements by the European Central Bank (ECB), the collection of investment fund balance sheet statistics on investment funds registered in Finland was extended to cover also private equity and real estate funds (PEF), which were not included in the Bank of Finland's data collection of balance sheet statistics before the first quarter of 2015. PEF data collection is separate from the AIFM reporting managed and collected by the Financial Supervisory Authority.
