Exploring private markets.
A new world of possibilities.
Cane can get you to market faster, with absolute confidence.
Private markets are at a turning point. After years of growth, they now face a new set of challenges from macroeconomic headwinds and regulatory shifts to rising demands for transparency and liquidity. In 'Straight to the Point', Carne’s four-part series, we spoke with 100 C-suite private market managers to uncover how leaders are responding and where they see opportunities ahead.
Each report focuses on a single asset class: private debt, infrastructure, private equity and real estate. We explore the unique evolution of each of these asset classes as they adapt to macro-economic headwinds, grapple with regulatory change, and navigate transparency and valuation hurdles in the face of growing demand for liquidity, highlighting where growth opportunities lie and delivering essential insights, straight from the source.
Private Debt
Private debt is entering a new chapter, attracting fresh capital. It has grown dramatically into a distinct and scalable asset class, spurred on by a slowdown in traditional lending. Strongly associated as both stable and durable, private debt has moved from the peripheral to a more mainstream alternative to traditional fixed income.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure is a sector in flux. Unprecedented demand for data centres created by generative AI and the shift to a low-carbon economy is driving increasing capital requirements. Whether it’s upgrading transport systems and electrical grids or embracing digital connectivity - trillions of dollars must flow into infrastructure just to keep up with the pace of change.

Private Equity
Private equity is undergoing a pivotal reset. Despite strong headwinds, this sector remains robust and confident about the road ahead. Capital is amassing disproportionately to high quality names with a maturing secondaries market offering buoyancy and opportunity.
Real Estate
Real estate is undergoing a renaissance. Growth opportunities present themselves in an aging population fuelling the need for senior living accommodation and a massive undersupply of sustainable buildings in the net zero transition.
As interest in private markets continues to grow, there is mounting pressure for asset managers to deliver products swiftly whilst addressing stringent regulations. It is a highly a complex landscape to navigate.
This is partly owing to the recent rapid expansion of the market. With total global assets under management expected to reach $13.01 trillion by July 2024, the market is evolving, as is the legislation that surrounds it. Whilst regulations are now designed to make it easier for investors entering Europe, it still takes time to understand all the finer details and avoid potential pitfalls along the way.
To better understand the pain points, Carne Group conducted a survey with US fund managers. Our fascinating new Atlas 2024 Report maps out the private market landscape, explores the US fund manager’s unique perspective and pinpoints their strategies for addressing the issues.
Our new Atlas 2024 report shines a light on the outlook for the different private markets, from the challenges facing private market fund managers in raising capital and their plans for addressing these, to looking at how wealth managers and DC pension schemes intend to invest in these markets.
