Widening access to our private markets platform

Appetite to invest in private markets is growing strongly among Private Investors. Ardian has always regarded this investor base as an important part of our investor pool and in 2020 launched the Private Wealth Solutions unit to increase focus on Private Clients and provide them with investment solutions tailored to their needs. The PWS team has specialists based in Paris, Zurich, New York, Beijing, London and Singapore.

Dedicated feeder funds

The main route for private clients around the world to access Ardian’s range of private market strategies will be via dedicated feeder funds set up by their private banks and wealth managers. These feeders allow to pool private-client money dedicated structures, allowing many more investors into Ardian funds while managing a single relationship with the fund, rather than multiple direct relationships with individual investors. In addition, it allows for investors to be accompanied by their advisor in the investment decision.
