Public markets

The scrutiny of active public markets investors has never been greater as the investment management industry continues to evolve. To stay ahead, firms need to harness innovation towards generating better and more sustainable returns for their clients. We have extensive experience of advising a range of investment organisations – institutions, asset owners and private partnerships – on their investing and distribution capabilities across the gamut of asset classes, and regions in both traditional and alternative products. We have great expertise in building investment and distribution teams at stand-alone alternative funds, as well as advising institutional clients on the build-out of these skills and integration with their existing investment teams.
