The new partnership will give accredited investors access to a semi-liquid global private equity strategy with a particular focus on the lower middle-market. It is the latest move by a global asset manager to broaden its investor base and continue the democratization of private markets. The strategy will seek out transformational growth opportunities at attractive entry prices, across five key sectors including healthcare, technology, consumer, business services and industrials. Semi-liquid products are proving to be a key part of the alchemical transformation of private markets, as more individual investors seek out ways to invest in private equity-owned assets. With more than 400 GP relationships in its network, there should be no shortage of opportunities for the Schroders private equity team to pursue and generate ADDed value for investors.
