Private Markets – Setting off into a new investment universe

Delegate research – participate in performance

Included in the field of private markets are start-ups, but also established companies who do not wish to be subjected to the volatility of public stock exchanges. Instead, they prefer to seek investors who are willing to commit their capital on a long-term basis. Investors seeking to invest in private markets, often find themselves confronted by two challenges - one: “how do I get access to investment opportunities before the company makes headlines in the mainstream?” And secondly: “How can I sort the chaff from the wheat (i.e., the performers)?” This is exactly where the many years of our experts’ experience comes into its own.

Profitable long-term investment

Investments in private markets are considered “illiquid”: an investment horizon amounting to several years is considered usual. And, historically, it is exactly that longer period that gives rise to the returns potential of private markets. The long investment horizon enables investors to become active managers, cooperating on making long-term decisions thus allowing a company's potential to be fully exploited. Because the minimum investment amounts are often high, it is important to align the investment with your personal financial goals and to review it in the context of individual risk appetite.
