Demystifying private markets: The markets have changed, so have perspectives on allocations
Preparing for the worst, hoping for the best Investors create financial plans to prepare for the risks of inflation, unforeseen expenses and whatever else might lie ahead. In particular, retirees may incur higher costs for health care, housing or family events. We believe private markets can improve investors’ financial security and make financial plans more resilient.
Scenario analysis: Alternatives have a big impact We calculated the ending dollar value of a $1 million portfolio over 30 years with and without private assets. In a scenario assuming a spending rate of 5% per year, and inflation of 3% per year, the portfolio with private assets outperformed.
Does your allocation measure up?
Portfolio plans vary based on investor profiles and market conditions, but all plans begin with a strategic allocation. We believe portfolios benefit from allocating to a wide array of asset classes, including private market assets.

Important information on risk Investors should be aware that alternative investments are speculative, subject to substantial risks including the risks associated with limited liquidity, the use of leverage, short sales and concentrated investments and may involve complex tax structures and investment strategies. Alternative investments may be illiquid, there may be no liquid secondary market or ready purchasers for such securities, they may not be required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, there may be delays in distributing tax information to investors, they are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as other types of pooled investment vehicles, and they may be subject to high fees and expenses, which will reduce profits. Alternative investments are not suitable for all investors and should not constitute an entire investment program. Investors may lose all or substantially all of the capital invested.
