Private Assets reach maturity

Private markets are reaching maturity and attracting a growing number of individual investors. Yet, they remain a demanding universe with their own specific mechanisms. Estelle Dolla and Private Corner were recently featured in Les Échos, shedding light on the key principles of this evolving asset class.

Among the insights highlighted in the article, Estelle Dolla deciphers the essential factors for investing confidently in private markets — a segment undergoing profound transformation.

Manager Selection Matters More Than Market Timing

In recent years, offerings in private markets tailored for individual investors have multiplied. However, investors should keep in mind that private markets require time, understanding, and a clear strategy. “It is essential to seek guidance and gather diverse opinions in order to challenge different managers and perspectives,” advises Estelle Dolla, President of Private Corner. “In private markets, the performance gap between managers is considerably wider than in listed markets. Selecting the right manager is more important than market timing.”

For individual investors exploring this asset class, education, discipline, and rigorous manager selection are therefore crucial.

A Tailored Offering for Individual Investors

The private markets offering is becoming increasingly segmented, making it difficult for newcomers to navigate. To best support individuals entering this universe, Private Corner has designed a dedicated range of solutions:

•Core Portfolio Strategies – to build a solid foundation

•Satellite Strategies – with more thematic and specialized exposures, such as Tikehau’s decarbonization approach or Ardian’s strategy in semiconductors.

This architecture allows investors to progressively enter the private markets and later add more specialized exposures. For a first investment, starting with “core portfolio” strategies helps establish a strong and diversified base.

Private Corner’s approach combines investor education, diversification, and rigorous manager selection — enabling individuals to access private markets with greater confidence and long-term perspective.
