Private Debt Intelligence – 4/8/2024
Family offices warm to Infrastructure, private debt, and hedge funds
Private equity is the main alternative asset class for family offices, with 58% of those tracked by Preqin active in the strategy, ahead of real estate (46%). However, while just 21% of family offices are active in hedge funds and private debt and 20% in infrastructure and natural resources, analysis of near-term commitment plans show shifting preferences.
Infrastructure, private debt, and hedge funds are set to play a greater role, with investors attracted to the lower volatility and hedging benefits. Half of all family offices active in infrastructure plan a commitment in the next 12 months, compared to 29% in hedge funds, and 19% in private debt. By contrast, just 9% of active family office investors in private equity intend to make an investment in the next 12 months.
