Using data from 3,658 buyouts between 2000 and 2016, we find that internationalized PE partnerships perform worse than ones that confine the partnership to members from the same regime. We ascribe this effect to the challenges in enforcing contracts and monitoring information asymmetries. In addition, we find that GPs&#8217; experience does not mitigate this adverse effect, which we ascribe to overstretched capabilities and context-specific knowledge. LPs&#8217; experience acts as a boundary condition to the above relationship: when LPs&#8217; experience is high, the negative effect of PE internationalization of fund performance becomes even more sub-optimal; while both GPs and LPs might exhibit overconfidence, the adverse consequences of the latter may be worse, given information asymmetries in the PE partnership. We further find that funds where the GPs are from civil law countries and\u00a0all\u00a0of the LPs from common law ones do worse in terms of both IRRs and MOICs; we found that MOICs were also inferior when the converse is the case.\u00a0\u00a0We explore the reasons behind these findings and draw out their implications for theorizing and future inquiry on PE internationalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Geoffrey Wood<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geoffrey Wood is Professor and DanCap Private Equity Endowed Chair, and Department Chair DAN Management at Western University in Canada.
