Alternative investments
BlueCrown provides institutional-quality access to private markets and alternative strategies, including private equity, private credit, real assets, and hedge funds. We apply a disciplined investment process and deep market insight to help investors seek long-term growth, generate income, and build resilient portfolios.
Private Markets are essential
As alternative investments become an increasingly important component of modern portfolios, investors require a disciplined and scalable framework to evaluate opportunities, manage risk, and integrate private market exposures alongside traditional assets.
Why Alternative Investments?
Alternative investments play a meaningful role in portfolio construction by expanding access to differentiated return sources, broader opportunity sets, and enhanced diversification.
Diversification
Exposure to return drivers that are less correlated with traditional equity and fixed income markets, helping improve portfolio resilience across market cycles.
Return Potential
Private markets provide access to investments generally unavailable in public markets, contributing to long-term capital appreciation, income generation, and value creation.
Expand Opportunity Set
Investors can access private companies, real estate, infrastructure, transportation assets, and specialized strategies, broadening the investable universe beyond listed securities.
The Growth of Private Markets¹
Private markets have grown substantially as both institutional and sophisticated individual investors increase their allocations beyond traditional public equities and fixed income. This structural shift reflects how global capital is increasingly directed toward private companies, infrastructure, real estate, and alternative strategies.
1 For illustration purposes. Source Cambridge Associates, as of March 31, 2023, the growth of $100,000 is based on cumulative returns from January 1, 2007, to March 31, 2023, capturing performance throughout the Global Financial Crisis. Past performance does not predict future returns. "Private Equity" is represented by the Cambridge Private Equity Index, including buyout, secondary, and growth equity funds. "Public Equities" are represented by the Cambridge Modified Public Market Equivalent (PME) analysis of the MSCI ACWI Index. Comparisons between private equity and public indices are based on the difference in performance between the Cambridge Private Equity Index IRR and the hypothetical PME return, with timing adjustments for cash flows. The returns shown are compounded quarterly for comparison and may not reflect actual historical returns. Indices are illustrative, and relying on comparisons involves risks and limitations, including PME adjustments. The PME methodology mimics the timing and amount of cash flows from the Cambridge Global Private Equity Index in a public market index, tracking its performance for hypothetical PME NAV calculations. Thus, comparisons are based on the difference between the Cambridge Global Private Equity Index IRR and the hypothetical PME IRR, including PME adjustments.
