Private markets have evolved from a niche segment to a central component of institutional and high-net-worth portfolio construction. As public market returns moderate and volatility persists, investors are recalibrating, seeking diversification, yield, and long-term alpha beyond the limitations of stocks and bonds.
At FINIQ, we see this shift clearly. FINIQ Alternatives Market is built to meet the demands of forward-thinking advisors, family offices, and institutions ready to integrate private capital into a modern investment strategy.
The Private Market Shift: Data-Backed Drivers of Growth
Private markets continue to outperform
According to
PitchBook’s Q1 2024 Private Market Performance Update, private equity
and venture capital funds have delivered an average net IRR of 13.2% over the
past decade, consistently outpacing public equity benchmarks on a risk-adjusted
basis. Private credit strategies have benefited from higher base rates, with
managers generating durable income and lower volatility relative to public fixed
income.
Alternative AUM is growing rapidly
The Preqin Global
Alternatives Report 2024 forecasts that global alternative assets under
management will reach $24.5 trillion by 2028, up from $16.3 trillion in 2023.
Growth is being driven by demand for differentiated return streams, access to
emerging managers, and protection against inflation and equity market
saturation.
Public markets no longer offer the same opportunity
set
McKinsey’s The Future of Private Markets report
notes a decline of more than 50% in the number of U.S. public companies since
the 1990s. As companies stay private longer, value creation is occurring earlier
and outside the reach of traditional portfolios. Private funds provide more
strategic flexibility and customized investment timelines, offering control that
public markets cannot.
