Research from Wealth Club indicates a pivot away from publicly listed markets as compelling investments shift towards private companies. Ninety-seven percent of private market fund managers surveyed believe that the trend of companies remaining privately-held is on the rise, due to changes in lending practices. It reports that 88% of firms with revenues exceeding $100 million are privately owned, with 87% of fund managers anticipating this figure to grow. Nearly half predict a dramatic rise in the transition away from public listings in the next five years and an increase in assets managed within private equity, credit, and real estate sectors.
Almost all (97%) private markets fund managers questioned agree that increases in companies remaining privately-held and a rise in lending outside the traditional banking sector mean that many of the most compelling investments are no longer available on publicly listed markets.
Currently around 88% of the 159,000 firms globally with revenues of more than $100 million are privately-held. The study found nearly nine out of 10 (87%) of private market fund managers expect that percentage to increase.
