^[redacted]‌ - The searchfund sector is pretty opaque and the Stanford Search Fund study is still the gold standard. You can download it for free on the Stanford GSB website. Here is the direct link: https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/case-studies/2020-search-fund-study-selected-observations

^[redacted]‌ & ^[redacted]‌ are the authors and maybe able to provide additional context.

You should also check out ^[redacted]‌'s blog for a good list of case studies. Here is the direct link: https://jimsteinsharpe.com/reference-sources/case-histories/

Hi Javier - We don't break out returns by sector in the Stanford study. This is an interesting idea. As the number of participant grows this is something we can look into in the future.

Perfect! Yes I understand that you need a good number of exited investment to achieve solid conclusion. I think is a good idea for searchers operating in new countries.
Many thanks!
