Private assets: taking on the income and return challenges of today's market

The traditional asset classes that generated income and returns in the past can no longer be counted on to provide a repeat performance.

Why private assets?

• Traditional asset classes are yielding less while remarkably being more volatile. As a result, investors have reached for income in riskier asset classes. This could undermine their investment goals, which is why diversification must be at the heart of the decision-making process.
• While there is no silver bullet to address these concerns, there are ways to generate return and income without compromising on quality, volatility, or diversification.
• Expanding the investment universe to include private assets may bolster diversification and address volatility, inflation and interest rate concerns, while delivering desired outcomes.
