Private funds

Private
Funds

Private markets, also known as private funds, invest in companies that are not publicly listed. As a result, these funds are not accessible to everyone, but only to experienced investors with sufficiently large capital and a solid understanding of investing and risk management. We make these funds accessible by allowing clients to invest together through an IBS fund. In cooperation with high-quality fund managers, we provide access to investments in private equity, private debt and infrastructure.

We also offer direct investment opportunities through co-investments. In these cases, we invest alongside private equity managers in carefully selected companies that meet our co-investment process. You do not pay underlying fees for these co-investments, which benefits your overall returns.

Why private markets?

Private markets are attractive because they provide access to a different type of investment. This offers two key advantages:

  1. Diversification: you invest in another asset class, which helps diversify your portfolio.
  2. Returns: private markets can achieve higher returns than publicly listed investments.

For these reasons, private markets can be a valuable addition to publicly listed investments.

It is important to understand that higher returns come with higher risks. One of these risks is that private markets investments are illiquid. This means these investments cannot easily or quickly be converted into cash. It is therefore wise to allocate an appropriate portion of your assets to this type of investment.

Fund selection

Our selection process focuses on funds with:

  1. Proven results: Funds with a strong track record and reliable performance. We evaluate the investment history, how returns are generated and the level of transparency.
  2. Focus on the middle market: Profitable companies that are ready for an IPO or acquisition.
  3. Access to exclusive deals: Funds with a strong network and high-quality investment opportunities.
  4. Clear strategy: Preference for companies with a strong market position and clear growth potential.
