Rising Demand for Private Investments

There has been a significant increase in demand for private investments, particularly in private equity and private credit markets. This trend has been observed over the past decade, but it has noticeably accelerated in the last few years. Investors have become attracted to alternative investments due to their resilience during market downturns, especially highlighted by the performance of private strategies in 2022 when traditional 60-40 portfolios suffered losses. As investors seek diversification and higher returns, the allocation towards private credit and equity is growing, with private equity now accounting for nearly half of the flows observed on investment platforms.
