FAQs
Private markets consist of debt and equity investments that are not publicly traded. Private market investments can be made directly, but are most often made by funds as part of a larger portfolio. There are six main asset classes within private markets: private real estate, private credit, private equity, private infrastructure, natural resources, and venture capital.
Private market investments provide a range of exposures depending on the risk/return spectrum, cash flow, and correlation characteristics investors are seeking. The benefits private markets may help a portfolio by reducing portfolio risk, increase returns, generate income, and potential opportunistic growth.
We manage over $180 billion in alternative asset strategies, spanning private credit, real estate, private equity and beyond. We share some highlights below:
Real estate: Invesco Real Estate is a global real estate manager, with local people on the ground in 21 offices worldwide. We invest across the risk-return spectrum, from core to higher returning strategies. Our expertise covers public, private, equity and debt capabilities.
Private credit: Invesco Private Credit is one of the world’s largest and longest-tenured private credit managers. We pursue opportunities across broadly syndicated loans, direct lending, distressed debt and special situations.
Traditionally, alternative assets (like real estate and some types of private credit) have been slower to buy or sell than public market assets (like equities and bonds). Often, this is because they are not traded on a screen with daily liquidity. Most private market investments take time to mature in market to reach potential returns.
Liquid alternatives, on the other hand, can be bought or sold more frequently. Some fund structures (like ETFs) can help achieve greater liquidity. For example, Invesco offers a broad range of commodity ETFs with daily access.

Investment risks
The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested.
Alternative investment products may involve a higher degree of risk, may engage in leveraging and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss, can be highly illiquid, may not be required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing important tax information, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual portfolios, often charge higher fees which may offset any trading profits, and in many cases the underlying investments are not transparent and are known only to the investment manager. There is often no secondary market for private equity interests, and none is expected to develop. There may be restrictions on transferring interests in such investments.
