The Four Virtues of Private Equity

December 14, 2022 | Amy Miller, Senior Research Analyst

In classical philosophy we are taught that there are four virtues of mind and character.

Prudence: The ability to discern the appropriate course of action
Temperance: The practice of discretion, restraint, and moderation
Fortitude: strength, endurance, and the ability to confront fear
Justice: fairness
