Elkstone

The Private Markets Specialists

A private markets portfolio can complement a client’s stocks and bonds by offering higher return potential and mitigating losses during challenging market conditions.

Elkstone assists clients in initiating investments across various asset classes, including real estate, private equity, infrastructure, venture capital, private credit, and hedge funds.

Why invest in Private Markets?

Private markets represent a fast-growing and diverse range of asset classes beyond traditional equities and bonds, offering potential benefits to your portfolio.

Family offices have roughly 50 per cent of their portfolio in private markets. Now we are seeing private wealth move into the private markets for reasons including higher expected returns, lower expected losses and diversification away from the traditional asset classes given the fragility of the markets.

Successfully investing in these markets demands patience, expertise, and a long-term strategic approach. By understanding the available options and how they can complement one another and your existing investments, you can build a resilient portfolio tailored to achieving your objectives. Private markets encompass multiple strategies, each functioning as a broad and dynamic asset class on its own.
