Why Your Most Critical Investment in Private Markets Isn’t an Asset, It’s a Partner
In public markets, most investors earn nearly identical returns, since index funds are designed to replicate the market’s performance. Transparency is high, access is easy, and results between managers differ only slightly. Public markets are useful for broad exposure and liquidity, offering a foundation that complements the differentiated outcomes of private markets. Yet even here, the role of a skilled liquid fund manager matters, not for generating large dispersion, but for constructing portfolios that balance risk, liquidity, and alignment with long-term goals.

Women and Wealth: From Quiet Influence to Financial Leadership
Women are becoming increasingly visible in wealth creation, management, and investing. This isn’t a sudden shift; it’s the result of decades of quiet influence, evolving access, and growing confidence now meeting a more inclusive financial landscape.Globally, women already control one-third of investable wealth, a figure projected to reach 35% by 2025.

Navigating Uncertainty: How Private Markets Can Strengthen Your Retirement Plan
Retirement planning has entered a new era. For decades, a balanced mix of stocks and bonds formed the foundation of long-term investment strategies, trusted to grow and preserve wealth across market cycles. But the landscape has changed. Volatility is more persistent, interest rates are harder to predict, and traditional portfolios increasingly fall short of delivering the stability and income needed in retirement.Building a resilient retirement plan today requires more than conventional allocations.

Once accessible only to institutions, asset classes like private credit, real estate, private equity, and infrastructure are now playing a larger role in long-term portfolios, offering new ways to manage risk and capture growth potential.

Depending on the investment strategy and asset class, the invested capital may be paid upfront or staggered over time, while the return is usually a combination of the periodic income from the investment and the capital gain upon its sale. The performance metrics to measure the return on invested capital are countless and provide different results.
