Bain's recent report on private markets forecasts strong tailwinds for private markets funds management businesses. "...fee revenue for private market investments, at $0.9 trillion in 2022, should double to $2 trillion by 2032. Private equity and venture capital will continue to be the largest categories, with private credit and infrastructure investments expanding into sizable asset classes." https://lnkd.in/eMsVJHFp #privatemarkets #gpstaking

Private credit returns can be as high as 18% p.a. but as Evidentia’s Head of Portfolio Management ‑ Multi Asset Darren Beesley explains, investors should be considering the return per unit of risk. During Scarcity Partners’ recent livestream “Myth busting private credit: an allocator’s perspective”, Darren posited to Justin McLaughlin and Tim Samway of Scarcity Partners that risk can be assessed based on several factors, one of which is the pricing power of the lender.

The Industry Super Funds’ ad campaign from more than a decade ago used the Paul Kelly song “From little things big things grow”. And this chart of Australia’s listed investment managers’ market capitalisations shows just how large Australia’s investment managers have grown. The Scarcity GP Access Fund aims to identify the “big things” of the future by taking minority stakes in high growth, privately held investment management firms. The underlying thesis of our investment philosophy is captured in our article “Invest in the firm not only its funds” which you can read here: https://lnkd.in/eU3SFTcT.

What to look for in the culture of a private credit fund manager Scarcity Partners brings capital but also expertise which means we are entering a partnership and partnerships only work where there is cultural alignment. Part of a fund manager’s culture is their beliefs and behaviours around client-centricity i.e. do they put their investors first. Taking care of investors is part of what facilitates a fund manager’s success over the long-term so in the area of private credit, we assess fund managers as follows: Transparency – The manager needs to be transparent with investors about where the loans sit in the capital structure and what modelling the manager has done to ensure the loan to value ratio is robust under various future scenarios. Alignment – When fees are structured to favour the fund and its investors not just the manager, it indicates the manager is client-centric and not just in business to enrich themselves. Skin in the game – The recent Alternative Credit Council global survey found 56% of private credit managers invest in their own funds (the Bank of International Settlements’ 2024 report found only 40% have skin in the game). Whichever figure is correct, it shows not all managers are committed to co-investment. We believe managers should invest in their own funds to deliver alignment. Experienced team – The rapid growth of the asset class means some managers will have less experience managing private credit funds. It’s important that the investment team has significant years of sector experience, particularly through market cycles and unexpectedly challenging times. These attributes are how we think about Scarcity Partners’ investments in this sector. The Scarcity GP Access Fund is currently open for wholesale investors so if you would like to learn more about how we approach investing in fund managers, visit: scarcitypartners.com. #privateequity #gpstaking #privatecredit
