ADD STABILITY AND GROWTH POTENTIAL TO YOUR PORTFOLIO

What are private market investments?

Private markets include debt and equity investments made directly into private companies, customized to meet the unique capital requirements of each business or project. Asset classes include:

  • Private Debt
  • Private Equity
  • Private Real Estate
  • Private Infrastructure

 

Tools for building resilient portfolios 

Private market investments have been broadly used by institutional investors such as pension funds, endowments and foundations to:

 

 Lower portfolio volatility:
Not subject to day-to-day price fluctuations of public markets, private market investments may lower overall portfolio volatility.
Enhance diversification:
Private assets offer lower correlation with public market investments such as bonds and stocks, smoothing overall portfolio returns and mitigating volatility.
Potential to generate attractive returns:
Private market assets are not immediately tradable. This illiquidity premium provides a unique advantage and may result in higher long-term returns compared to public markets.
