Private markets

Investments that are not traded on public exchanges, but are bought and sold in private transactions, are collectively known as ‘private market’ assets. These include private equity, real estate and infrastructure. As investors often hold these assets for longer periods, and have greater control over them, they can have a powerful role in promoting the responsible investment agenda.
