DUBAI: A new report from Barclays Private Bank has revealed that private equity continues to lead private markets amid growing interest from private wealth investors.
The inaugural report, ‘Forging New Paths: How private investors are capitalising on the evolution of private markets’, sheds light on the resilience and growth potential of private equity (PE), and venture capital (VC), identifying the key trends that private investors could consider when building a diversified portfolio.
It shows that despite broader economic challenges, PE funds have captured a record 50.5 percent of private capital fundraising in the year-to-date. Global closed-end private capital funds had assets under management of $14.7 trillion as of 2022, a figure projected to reach $19.6 trillion by 2028. These funds have collectively raised nearly $2 trillion in additional fresh capital since the beginning of 2023.
The report also speaks to private wealth investors’ growing interest in private markets as they increasingly recognise the opportunities presented through these fund channels, following in the footsteps of their institutional counterparts.
The report reveals:
Shenal Kakad, Head of Private Markets, at Barclays Private Bank, commented: “Our report underscores the evolving sophistication of private wealth investors, who are increasingly adopting institutional strategies in their pursuit of higher returns and portfolio resilience. We are also seeing growing demand from clients looking to make private market allocations based on their desire to not only capture higher returns but also to align with their personal values or global trends.
“For high net worth individuals and family offices the opportunities within private markets are significant, but these markets are complex. Identifying the right opportunities requires expert guidance, coupled with deep knowledge of fund structures.”
