Head of EMEA Global Wealth Management Solutions Veronique Fournier joined Bloomberg TV to discuss growing demand from European wealth investors for semi-liquid private market strategies, including private fixed income products.
In conversation with David Rubenstein at the Economic Club of Washington, D.C., CEO Marc Rowan discusses why, amid a growing retirement crisis, investors need to re-evaluate their understanding of private markets. Much like public markets, investments in the private markets can be either safe or risky; the main difference between public and private is liquidity, not risk.
Benchmark constraints can create unintended concentration in fixed-income portfolios, hindering alpha-generation potential. Relaxing these restrictions may enhance diversification and help unlock potential excess returns. In this paper, we illustrate how integrating less-constrained or unconstrained strategies can help enhance long-term risk-adjusted performance.
