Our approach

We leverage our integrated private markets platform to design multi-asset solutions across debt and equity to meet a wide variety of client  objectives. Our solutions include our flagship Climate Transition Real Assets strategy, which invests in real estate, infrastructure and forestry and has a 2040 net zero ambition. By drawing on the expertise of our private markets teams, we seek to source unique deal opportunities and deploy capital in an efficient way. 

Through our scale, we have deep, direct market access and high visibility of off-market deals in mainstream and niche sectors. Our highly skilled team has the experience to manage the complexity of private markets – and their risks – with the aim of delivering robust risk-adjusted returns. 

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 access the benefits delivered by each private markets component in their portfolio, with a bespoke design and construction to meet their requirements.

Multi-asset mindset

Our scale and expertise allow us to source unique deal opportunities across a broad range of private markets, through debt, equity and direct ownership. This helps us build portfolios seeking to meet specific client investment objectives.

Efficient deployment

We target rapid deal execution and have a robust and sustainable pipeline, with a high success rate of deals.

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.
