Private Markets are investments outside the stock exchange. Think of non-listed companies (Private Equity), loans (Private Credit), and infrastructure. These are often companies that are growing, tapping into new markets, or acquiring other companies. Examples include biotech, software, and infrastructure (bridges, toll roads, data centres).
Are you invested in ING Portfolio Management and do you have sufficient investable assets? Then you can additionally invest in a mixed Private Markets fund. This offers several potential benefits:
Investing in private markets is a long-term investment. With Private Equity, capital is invested in exchange for a share in a company, with the aim of creating value. This could involve new product development, internationalisation, or a merger between two companies to strengthen their market position. This process takes time.
As an investor, you must be prepared to entrust your money to the fund manager for an extended period of time. Entry and exit are only possible at specific times and are not guaranteed. On the other hand, you gain access to a market with investment opportunities that have long been inaccessible to individual investors.

This so-called semi-liquid evergreen fund is an ongoing fund without a fixed start date. This means you can start investing right away and don’t have to wait until a suitable company or project is found. Any money released from the sale of investments or interest is automatically reinvested, so you don’t need to look for new opportunities yourself. And because these are large funds, we build a well-diversified portfolio for you as an investor.
Did you know it’s a long-term investment with flexibility? Semi-liquid funds allow you to enter monthly and exit once per quarter (subject to conditions). For example, in special situations such as divorce or death.

With public investments, you can often buy and sell quickly. Think, for example, of an Ahold share that you can sell in just a few clicks.
With private investments, such as Private Equity or Private Credit, you are usually in it for the longer term. For example, you invest in a company that you help to grow. Or you provide a loan that is repaid over several years.
This means that you cannot simply sell your investment. It is therefore important that you do not need your money for the foreseeable future.

Investing in Private Markets involves risks and costs. You may lose (part of) your investment.
Private Markets investments are not freely tradable: redemptions are limited to predetermined moments (e.g., quarterly) and capped at a maximum percentage of the fund’s assets. In exceptional circumstances, redemptions may be temporarily or indefinitely suspended.
Private Markets investments are speculative and complex. They carry high risks, including limited transferability, high leverage, reduced investor protection, and limited information availability. The value of your investment may fluctuate. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Consult your advisor for the fund-specific prospectus and the key information document.
