SVG Capital, the embattled private equity investor, has been tipped by analysts to be one of the top performers in its sector over the next 12 months, following a dismal run in which its stock plunged by more than 90%.

Profits at SVG, the biggest investor in European private equity firm Permira, are set to rebound strongly as its investment portfolio recovers and Permira begins to sell assets, two leading analysts have said.
