As Baby Boomers retire, they are set to transfer $84.4 trillion in assets to their heirs by 2045, marking one of the largest wealth transfers in history. This financial windfall for Millennials and Gen Z necessitates a strategic approach to managing newfound wealth in a shifting investment landscape.
The traditional path of investing in public markets is giving way to alternative investments, especially in private markets like private equity, hedge funds, and venture capital. These sectors have historically outperformed public markets, offering higher returns with lower volatility over the long term. At Friends Wealth Management, we are dedicated to educating our clients, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, about the benefits of diversifying their portfolios with private market investments.

The Shift from Public to Private Markets
Asset Allocation: Including private markets in your portfolio enhances diversification by adding asset classes less correlated to traditional stocks and bonds. This not only spreads risk but also captures opportunities not available in public markets alone.
Diversification Benefits: Private markets operate independently of public market movements, reducing overall portfolio risk. This independence is crucial for investors looking to stabilize their investment strategy amidst market volatility and economic fluctuations.
Risk and Return Dynamics: Private markets historically deliver superior risk-adjusted returns compared to public markets due to specialized investment strategies and longer investment horizons typical of private equity and alternative investments. By embracing private markets, investors can potentially achieve higher returns without increased market volatility.
