Private markets
Investing in private markets can help investors achieve their objectives with unique benefits not always available through traditional asset classes.
Why are investors considering private market allocations?
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.
Accessing private markets
Success within the private markets sector requires deep market insight, highly specialised research, robust due diligence and access to "best in class" strategies. We have been delivering private market expertise to clients for five decades, with an extensive range of private markets solutions providing entry 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
