Why private markets and what are their benefits

Nowadays investors are looking beyond the traditional 60:40 equity/bond portfolio allocating more and more to private market. Private market investments provide investors a robust toolkit to diversify from traditional investments, offer differentiated sources of returns, and potentially help capture illiquidity premiums while mitigating systematic market. While one size does not fit all, high net worth investors often allocate 10 - 20% of their overall portfolio to Private Markets. That being said, institutional clients or single/ multi-family offices with significant resources and intergenerational time horizons could allocate 30% or more.
