The opportunity set for

GP Minority Stakes

For GPs looking to diversify their offerings, fortify their balance sheets and capture the growing demand for exposure to the private markets, we believe the potential opportunity set will likely continue to grow.

Key drivers of growth in private markets include7:

  • Private markets strategies have generally demonstrated superior performance vs. public markets

  • A broad-based under-allocation to private markets from both institutional and retail investors

  • Companies staying private for longer

  • Lower barriers for retail participation in the private markets
