How to Invest in Private Equity: Advice from Schroders Expert Claire Smith

In this episode, Bryce sits down with Claire Smith, Head of Private Asset Sales Australia & New Zealand at Schroders, to dive deep into the world of private equity. Claire shares her expert insights on why private equity should be considered for your portfolio, how the industry is structured, and the benefits of investing in this asset class.
Over the last few months we’ve been doing more and more content focused on private equity. The returns are compelling and the opportunities are interesting. And with fewer and fewer public listings each year, it seems having some exposure to private equity could be a good idea.
In today’s episode we cover:
- How private equity markets are structured and segmented
- The fallacy that to get good returns you need to invest with the big end of town
- How having too much money is actually hurting the big players
- Schroder’s semi-liquid, open-ended PE fund, and how it might work in my portfolio
- Some examples of investments that Schroders are making
- Where Claire thinks the PE industry will be in 10 years
