CVC Capital Partners Plc Chief Executive Officer Rob Lucas said that investing in Europe can be challenging, as rival private equity firms increasingly look to the region for growth.
Investors will need to navigate large cultural and economic differences, and find value amid the region's less efficient markets, Lucas told Bloomberg's Swetha Gopinath on a panel Thursday at the SuperReturn International conference in Berlin. Europe is a 'very, very important area,' though it's a complex place to navigate given the diversity of the different markets and number of smaller economies, he said.

Don't See This Crypto as a Risk? ‘You're Dumb,' According to Dave Ramsey

Personal finance expert Dave Ramsey says a sole investment in bitcoin without seeing the risk is a dumb idea. He might not be entirely off the mark, either. Explore More: Check Out: Bitcoin is fundamentally volatile, but less so than many large and popular stocks such as Netflix (NFLX). Bitcoins' realized volatility over a 90-day timeframe averaged 46%, while Netflix averaged 54%. However, while investors this year have been moving from gold to bitcoin, gold remains the better performer year-to-date — up 23.8%, according to Bloomberg — outperforming bitcoin and hitting a new all-time high earlier this year. From 2020 to 2024, bitcoin has been three to nearly four times as volatile as various equity indices, which is especially notable as 'equity indices are typically considered the riskiest part of modern traditional portfolios due to their historical volatility', according to Fidelity. Ramsey said he comes across young people who say they've invested everything they have in bitcoin and they don't have anything else. He equates it to the same deal as gambling in Vegas. 'If you chart bitcoin and you don't see risk, you're dumb,' he said on a recent podcast. 'It's all over the freakin' world and that tells you it's a highly volatile, short-term play and you're trying to ride this thing out.' Read Next: Ramsey added it's got the 'cool factor' because it's related to technology and people want in on it because it's a fad. He advised, however, that you just need to be comfortable with the amount of money you put into bitcoin and its potential loss, saying, 'Just be able to burn the amount of money you put in there, in the middle of the kitchen table, and not miss it.'
