It was an absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to co-host an intimate and frank discussion on “Recent Trends in Private Markets” with our valued member EQT Group. The session was held in a relaxed and cozy setting at EQT’s Central Hong Kong offices, featuring Peter Beske Nielsen and Sueann Yeo, who flew in to share valuable perspectives on private markets with our members. Peter and Sueann provided insightful and thought-provoking answers to questions from our moderator, Vivien Khoo as well as the other attendees.

Key Takeaways:
– Private markets evolution : private markets are increasingly gaining sector and regional exposure, with more companies opting to stay private for longer.
– Evergreen Vehicle Growth: with advantages including no fixed end date, asset allocation rebalancing, immediate exposure, investment and redemption options, investors now have much more flexibility than with traditional closed-end funds.
– Risk Management: portfolio diversification and liquidity management are crucial for client success.
– Performance Matters: transparency and educating advisors is essential, as are skilled managers in private markets.

A special thank you to EQT Group for generously providing the venue and sponsoring the food and drinks for the networking session. We look forward to seeing you at future PWMA events!
