Private market assets: Growth opportunities in a new era
In this episode, Genevieve Cua speaks to Victor Aerni, CEO of Pictet Wealth Management Asia, on the growing interest in private markets.
Private assets, including private equity, real estate, debt, and infrastructure, have experienced significant growth in recent years, with assets under management (AuM) increasing by double digits annually.
The appeal of private assets lies in their potential for diversification, higher returns, and reduced correlation with traditional investments, particularly during periods of low interest rates. The ability to invest in promising companies and exert control over investments are additional factors driving the popularity of private assets.
