POWER THROUGH EVERY MARKET CYCLE

Why are investors considering private market allocations?​

Return potential

Over the long term, private markets have outperformed traditional assets with the ability to tap into non-economic risk premia (for example, an illiquidity premium).​

Reduced volatility

With valuations typically occurring on a quarterly basis, private markets do not experience the same level of mark-to-market volatility seen in public markets.​​

Inflation hedging

Private markets offer potential inflation hedging benefits, particularly for select natural resources, real estate, infrastructure equity and private credit strategies.

Accessing private markets

Success within the private markets sector requires deep market insight, highly specialized research, robust due diligence and access to "best in class" strategies. Globally, we have been delivering private market expertise to clients for decades with an extensive range of private markets solutions providing access to this complex, but potentially profitable pool of capital. In conjunction with our strategic partner, Hamilton Lane, we can provide global access to the full spectrum of asset types including:

Private equity: Buyouts, secondaries, and venture capital

Private real estate: Core, value-added, opportunistic

Private infrastructure: Core, value-added, opportunistic

Impact investments

Private markets provide a broad spectrum of opportunities across a variety of market cycles as well as additional diversification and the potential to generate attractive returns.
