Searching for a BSc Private Equity Thesis Topic

Hi all,


I decided to write my bachelor's thesis on private equity. I am trying to find a good subject that hasn't already been covered by many papers before and also doable w.r.t. finding data.


I was thinking about the following subjects:

(1) The effect of fund size on private equity performance (a spin on this since my thesis supervisor doesn't think it's good enough like this).

(2) The effect of diversity in the board of directors on private equity fund performance.


But I was wondering if any of you had a better research idea.


I am looking forward to your responses & thanks in advance.
