Gateway recently had the privilege of hosting an insightful webinar: Insights from Family Offices on Private Equities - Strategies and Outlook, with Mr Justin Ng, Principal of King Seal Holdings, and Ms Iesan Tsai, Managing Director and Head of Private Investments at Kiri Capital. Key Highlights: - "In a high interest environment, cash is king." Strategies like GP stakes funds and private credit, which offer strong cash yield, are of key interest. In GP stakes strategies, having a piece of the management fees across a 10-year cycle offers an attractive investment opportunity. - Working with experienced managers with deep networks is crucial for deal sourcing and due diligence - for Asian investors, this becomes even more important when looking towards US markets. - Secondaries serve as a key mechanism for investors and family offices to actively manage their existing portfolio holdings to balance between short term liquidity goals and long-term strategies.
