Why invest in Global Private Equity?

Leading institutional investors have increased their allocations to global private equity over the last 20 years because this asset class has historically delivered the highest annualised investment returns with low levels of volatility, creating a highly compelling risk-return profile.

The best global private equity managers take advantage of a rich opportunity set in private markets, add strategic and operational capability to portfolio companies and apply a long-term perspective to build value.

Private equity funds have traditionally been excellent portfolio diversifiers, which combine low public market correlation with strong potential for superior investment returns.

Why Whiteoak Global Series?

Despite the attractive characteristics of the global private equity asset class, Australian family offices, high net worth individuals, wealth managers and smaller institutional investors have typically found it difficult to gain exposure to the best global private equity opportunities. A combination of large minimum investment sizes, global tax complexity, and the challenge of building deep relationships with the right managers have created substantial barriers to access.

Whiteoak Global Series offers sophisticated local investors a suite of carefully selected funds managed by the world’s leading private equity managers. Available via Australian unit trusts, these investments have been specifically designed to simplify the investment experience for Australian investors.
