Once considered the domain of institutional investors, financial advisers are being increasingly exposed to opportunities to invest in private markets. While some advisers have been integrating such strategies into their client portfolios for years, for others, this may be the first time they are exploring such strategies. No matter where you are in this journey, BT is here to help.

We are pleased to announce we have partnered with Preqin – a global leader in providing education, research and insights into alternative asset classes including private equity, real estate, private debt, infrastructure and natural resources. Through BT Academy, you now have access to a range of in-depth educational content and insights.

Private market assets are an extension of traditional assets such as stocks and bonds but differ in that they are not publicly traded on an exchange.

 

Different product structures have evolved to cater for the unique requirements of institutional and private wealth investors.
Private equity is a growing unlisted asset class where capital is invested in companies in exchange for ownership or an interest in the business.
The private real estate sector has boomed over the last 50 years to take its place as one of the most valuable asset classes in the world.
The uptake of private debt is a relatively new trend, finding greater relevance post the Global Financial Crisis.
As governments globally have privatised essential assets, infrastructure continues to grow in prominence, providing investors with a differentiated risk and return profile.
As the buzz around sustainability brings renewable energy further into the limelight, the asset class of natural resources comes with it.
To help you better understand the terminology regularly used in private markets, we have provided a list of terms covering private equity & venture capital, private debt, real estate, infrastructure and natural resources.
