Deep expertise in a complex and specialized area

Private equity has come a long way since the early days of leveraged buyouts. Today, the private equity universe spans numerous strategies with varying levels of risk and highly dispersed returns across a vast and ever-evolving universe of opportunities.

The complexity and scope of this opportunity set—and the importance of finding and investing with the limited universe of managers who can deliver outperformance—requires extensive resources and specialized expertise.

That’s why our senior private investments team, with an average of nearly 20 years of industry experience, is located around the globe to help us find and access the funds that we believe can drive portfolio outperformance.

Yesterday's pioneers, today's leading-edge investors

As one of the earliest proponents of private markets investing, we have been partnering with sophisticated institutional and family investors to shape the global private markets investment landscape for five decades. We are a leader in private markets investing, often being the first stop for new and emerging managers who are spinning out from larger firms.

And while private investments have consistently proven to drive portfolio performance for investors with meaningful allocations, there is a wide dispersion in returns between the best and the rest.

That’s why we have continually invested in the resources, experience, and infrastructure to source, evaluate, and access high conviction private investments around the globe.
