Capital and companies are shifting away from public markets. The rise of the passive listed equity fund has created unparalleled indexation and correlation in the public domain. Conversely, private markets have demonstrated return outperformance (with less volatility) over a long period of time. The result is a generational shift in capital and businesses to the private markets. Within private markets, mid-market private equity is home to some of the country’s most dynamic, high-growth investment opportunities. Yet most of these remain out of reach for public market investors. In fact, the number of mid-market businesses across Australia and New Zealand is over nine times greater than the total number of companies listed on the ASX. Mid-market private equity managers pursue an opportunity set that is vast, with less competitive pressure, and greater relative value creation potential. Innovation in accessible private market investment structures means now is the time to think beyond public markets and make your move into mid-market PE.
