Private equity is at a turning point, with investors and advisors exploring the best ways to allocate across sub-strategies. There is a compelling case for private equity secondaries serving as the cornerstone of a core/satellite evergreen model.
Evergreen and closed-ended / drawdown funds offer different paths to private markets - understanding their strengths can help investors optimise allocations.
Benefit Street Partners believes that although stock market volatility is unsettling, it is not a cause for concern in the CRE sector. Instead, we should expect increased demand for CRE debt investments over the coming months and quarters.
The global secondary market has grown over the past three decades primarily because of the increased supply of capital committed to private investment funds, according to Lexington Partners. They believe the backdrop for the secondary market continues to remain attractive.

Important information
This document is intended to be of general interest only. This document should not be construed as individual investment advice or offer or solicitation to buy, sell or hold any shares of fund or security. The information provided for any individual security mentioned is not a sufficient basis upon which to make an investment decision. Investment involves risks. Value of investments may go up as well as down and past performance is not an indicator or a guarantee of future performance. The investment returns are calculated on NAV to NAV basis, taking into account of reinvestments and capital gain or loss. The investment returns are denominated in stated currency, which may be a foreign currency other than USD and HKD (“other foreign currency”). US/HK dollar-based investors are therefore exposed to fluctuations in the US/HK dollar / other foreign currency exchange rate. Please refer to the offering documents for further details, including the risk factors.
The data, comments, opinions, estimates and other information contained herein may be subject to change without notice. There is no guarantee that an investment product will meet its objective and any forecasts expressed will be realized. Performance may also be affected by currency fluctuations. Reduced liquidity may have a negative impact on the price of the assets. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments. Where an investment product invests in emerging markets, the risks can be greater than in developed markets. Where an investment product invests in derivative instruments, this entails specific risks that may increase the risk profile of the investment product. Where an investment product invests in a specific sector or geographical area, the returns may be more volatile than a more diversified investment product. Franklin Templeton accepts no liability whatsoever for any direct or indirect consequential loss arising from use of this document or any comment, opinion or estimate herein. This document may not be reproduced, distributed or published without prior written permission from Franklin Templeton.
Any share class with “(Hedged)” in its name will attempt to hedge the currency risk between the base currency of the Fund and the currency of the share class, although there can be no guarantee that it will be successful in doing so. In some cases, investors may be subject to additional risks.
Please contact your financial advisor if you are in doubt of any information contained herein.
