Investors are piling into private markets for various reasons these days. Our roundtable gives the lowdown on an area whose popularity ratings are going through the roof.
The appetite for private markets is growing, but in many cases investors’
understanding of them is rather limited. And that’s just one of the challenges.
As companies across the sector refine their digital toolkits,
tech services are attracting private equity interest.

Sustained low interest rates, inflationary pressures, and high equity valuations continue to reduce forward-looking return expectations for traditional investments. Advisors and their clients can be better prepared in an expected lower return environment by adding investment exposures outside of the traditional framework, such as hedge funds, private equity, real estate and other diversifying alternative strategies. Building more complex portfolios requires additional expertise in the research process for manager selection and due diligence.

The use of private markets funds by wealth clients is on the verge of becoming mainstream. Wealth managers that are able to deliver a suitable and compelling solution will deliver rewards for their clients and themselves. Innovation in product design, new technology-enabled platforms and more permissive regulations mean that wealth managers have the opportunity to help their client access private markets, which provide diversification and the potential for higher returns.

Driven by regulatory and societal pressures, demand for sustainable and environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) labelled investment products has increased dramatically in recent years. Product manufacturers have responded rapidly with the launch or restructuring of a vast range of funds. This acceleration in supply presents investors with a new challenge; distinguishing between those products that genuinely integrate sustainable investing (SI) principles and those that only demonstrate superficial support.
