Diversification is crucial to maintain a balanced investment portfolio. By allocating assets across different investment types, like private equity, you can minimise the impact of a single asset's poor performance. By allocating assets across different investment types, like private equity, you can minimise the impact of a single asset's poor performance. Private equity has historically demonstrated strong returns and low correlation to public markets, providing growth potential and a buffer against market downturns.
Alternative investments, including private equity funds, can potentially provide better returns than traditional investments. Our fund managers can access unique opportunities and strategies such as buyouts, venture capital, growth equity, and many other opportunities which may result in higher returns over the long term.
Many assume that the lockup period of private equity means you do not see any money until the end of the term of the investment (sometimes, ten years). However, in many private equity funds, investors typically receive distributions each year after an initial period.
From our analysis of data available through Preqin, distributions can start as early as year 2 and many see their initial capital returned by year 6. Returns are realised through exit strategies such as acquisitions, initial public offerings (IPOs), or secondary sales.
Our members can access additional information and supporting documents on specific funds through our investor portal. You can also reach out to a member of our team who will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
