A different way to invest

Private equity is an alternative investment class that invests in privately owned companies not listed on share markets. While private equity is a complex investment it has enjoyed rapid expansion over the past few decades, especially among institutional and wholesale investors, including superannuation funds, family offices and high net worth individuals.

Why consider private equity?

Market inefficiencies

Private equity markets are not efficient. This creates an opportunity for outperformance relative to share market investments.

Powerful diversification

Gain exposure to a different return and risk profile relative to traditional asset classes, increasing your access to new opportunities.

Long-term focus

Private equity investments enable long-term planning, free from the short-term expectations and pressures associated with public markets.
