Private Equity

Back to Private Markets Back to Private Markets

Private Equity

Private Equity is investing in non-listed companies. The amount of non-listed companies is significantly higher than the amount of listed companies, so Private Equity provides opportunities for additional diversification and returns. WMP invests for its clients in Funds managed by Private Equity fund managers, who specialize in creating capital gains after purchasing a business. Usually, after 5 to 7 years, they will try to realize the capital gains by selling the company. Certain investors who invest in Private Equity Pools could apply for participation exemption benefits for investments where the underlying Portfolio companies have already paid corporate income taxes.

Private Debt

Back to Private Markets Back to Private Markets

Private Debt

Private Debt is providing loans to companies. The fund managers who WMP selects, often act instead of banks or the capital market. Private Debt returns are often several percent above marketable loans (such as bonds). Risks are reduced by diversification of the loans across many businesses and proper structuring of the collateral. Private Debt is typically granted at a variable interest rate, so the return rises as interest rates rise. This is where it differs significantly from bonds, where usually the opposite is the case.

Private Property

Back to Private Markets Back to Private Markets

Private Property

Private Property is investing in non-listed property and infrastructure (‘real assets’). There is no daily market price at which to trade at a premium or discount (as is often the case) to intrinsic value. Private Property is investing in physical assets with a long-term horizon and vision, through specialized fund managers. One of the characteristics of Private Property is inflation protection through indexed leases.
