Open ended solutions
In the realm of alternative assets, fund structures have often been overlooked by investors in the past. Traditionally, private market fund vehicles have been predominantly closed-ended, aside from hedge funds. However, there’s a notable shift in manager focus towards launching open-ended fund vehicles, resembling approaches familiar in public markets and hedge funds. While these open-ended funds offer benefits for both managers and investors, they should be carefully considered alongside closed-ended vehicles, each evaluated on its own merits. HSBC Global Private Bank have been at the vanguard of this new opportunity, working with top tier private market managers.
- Closed-ended: Also known as ‘drawdown vehicles’, these funds involve committing capital upfront, with investors waiting for their committed capital to be called and invested over several years. Utilizing a multi-vintage program, diversifying investment across different periods, can enhance net returns while mitigating risks for investors.
- Open-ended: Referred to as ‘evergreen vehicles’, these funds don’t have a fixed term and continue indefinitely. Investors can stay invested for a duration that suits them, with underlying investments typically priced on a monthly basis to balance interests of both buyers and sellers.
In this landscape, execution is crucial, and manager selection is paramount. With significant dispersion between successful and unsuccessful funds, choosing the right manager can lead to outsized returns compared to peers.
