Over the past decade, private credit experienced a number of tailwinds that boosted the demand for the asset class from both institutional and private investors. Today, the private credit market is estimated to stand at over USD $1.5 trillion. In this article we discuss what private credit characteristics are and the benefits of adding an allocation to your investment portfolio.
Our Managing Director Mathew Cassidy joined James Kirby, Wealth Editor at The Australian for an episode of The Money Puzzle to explain what unlisted assets are, balancing risk and return, and how Partners Private are opening the doors to unlisted investment opportunities that clients would not be able to access on their own.
The wholesale investment market was strong in 2022, with Partners Private assessing hundreds of opportunities and presenting clients with 8 new investments over the course of the year. These investments included property equity, private equity, mezzanine debt, preferred equity and property debt, and raised more than $105M in investment capital.
In this issue we consider past performance of alternatives and look at how they are used by other fund managers within the investment mix, and how to add them to your own portfolio.
Alternative assets are investments that do not fall under the classification of other commonly known asset classes like stocks, bonds and cash. Typically, this categorisation includes assets such as private equity, private debt, infrastructure, real estate, natural resources and hedge funds. Here we take a closer look at what each of these asset classes are.
