Our approach
We leverage our integrated private markets platform to design debt and equity multi-asset solutions that meet a wide variety of client objectives. Our capabilities include a flagship strategy focusing on the climate transition investing in real estate, infrastructure and forestry, and a private debt strategy, targeting attractive risk-adjusted returns through a diversified multi-sector portfolio. Drawing on the experience of our specialist teams, we focus on sourcing unique opportunities and deploying capital efficiently.
Our scale provides deep market access and strong visibility of off-market transactions across both mainstream and niche sectors. With extensive experience navigating the complexity and risks of private markets, our teams aim to deliver robust risk-adjusted returns for clients.
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations are fully embedded throughout our investment process, from origination through to development, ongoing asset management and reporting.*
Why invest?
Investors can capture the benefits of a variety of private-market asset classes through a bespoke portfolio design tailored to their specific risk-return requirements and long-term objectives. We also offer multi-asset private market co-mingled funds at scale, giving investors the advantages of diversification and access to a wider range of opportunities within one strategy.
Opportunity‑set driven
Our scale and experience allow us to source unique investment opportunities across a broad range of private markets, through debt and equity. This helps us build portfolios designed to meet specific client investment objectives.
Efficient deployment
A strong pipeline enables disciplined selectivity and efficient execution on opportunities that meet our underwriting standards.
Investing with purpose
ESG considerations are fully integrated throughout our investment process as we seek to directly invest and partner in best-in-class private markets opportunities and encourage long-term, responsible investment.*
*ESG integration means the integration of ESG factors and consideration of sustainability risk as part of the investment decision making process. This process is applied beyond any specific binding constraints (in the objective or strategy of the fund as detailed in the prospectus or investment management agreement and in accordance with our Baseline Exclusions Policy). The investment manager retains discretion on decision making taking all risks into account, beyond any binding criteria.
Key risks of private markets funds
Investment risk
The value of an investment and any income from it can go down as well as up. Investors may not get back the original amount invested.
Valuation risk
Where funds are invested in real estate / infrastructure, investors may not be able to switch or cash in an investment when they want because real estate / infrastructure may not always be readily saleable. If this is the case, we may defer a request to switch or cash in shares or units. Investors should also bear in mind that the valuation of real estate is generally a matter of valuers’ opinion rather than fact.
