Private Markets in Demand, Family Offices & UHNWs

Hong Kong Exchange

Private markets have evolved tremendously and is growing fast.  Institutional investors, family offices, professional investors, UHNWs and UHNWs have taken a strong interest in investing in private markets, and be able to invest early into the next “Alibaba, Apple, Google or Facebook”. 

Many Private markets deals were only available to institutional investors, connected circles, club deals or in high ticket size that can range from $1 million to $100 million per placement, with lock-in period from 3 – 5 years, and with some between 7 – 10 years.

Today, private markets have also evolved from traditional private equity, hedge funds and real estate, with many institutional, professional and private investors moving into venture capital, early-stage investments, private debts and investing via secondaries market (able to buy and sell private market investments).  

Generally, private market investments have a longer holding period such as 3-5 years or 7-10 years, but may provide high returns (eg. 8% to 30% IRR), and depending on the specific type of investment, may be uncorrelated to the market and provide lower volatility.

The development of private markets such as secondaries platform (for private market), where investors are able to buy and sell anytime, means investors may no longer be tied by the long holding period.
