Private markets are no longer an alternative asset class. With AUM approaching $15 trillion globally and widely expected to exceed $30 trillion by 2030, EY argues that the industry has crossed a threshold that changes the rules for how firms need to operate.

The piece outlines the structural choices facing managers as private capital moves into retail channels, wealth platforms and insurance balance sheets at scale. EY frames this around two archetypes: integrators building full-stack platforms across origination, distribution and servicing, and manufacturers focused on deep investment capability distributing through others. The pressure is greatest for firms caught in the middle without a clear identity in either direction.

What runs through all of it is the operating model challenge. Governance frameworks and back-office infrastructure built for a $5 trillion asset class are under strain as private markets approach $15 trillion and begin serving millions of retail investors. Firms that invest in that infrastructure now will be better placed as the market continues to grow.

🌍 For the third year running, we marked World Day for Cultural Diversity yesterday, recognised by the United Nations and UNESCO, with our International Potluck Lunch.

Once again, a meeting room table became a global one. This year's spread included Brigadeiros from Brazil, Tim Tams from Australia, Empanadas and Pan de Bono from Colombia, Bara Brith from Wales, Tiramisu from Italy, ANZAC Biscuits from New Zealand, and plenty more in between.

Three years in and it still surprises us. A different spread every time, and the same reminder of just how many cultures make up this team. Thank you to everyone who brought a little piece of home to the table!

📊 PitchBook's 2030 Private Market Horizons report forecasts global private capital AUM reaching $26.7 trillion by the end of 2030, up from $20.3 trillion today.

Real assets stand out, with record fundraising in 2025 and an 11.3% CAGR forecast through 2030, driven by sustained demand across digital infrastructure, energy transition and supply chain investment. Private debt continues to expand, with a broadening opportunity set and growing appetite from both wealth and insurance channels.

Evergreen structures are projected to reach $5.2 trillion by 2030, growing at nearly double the overall market rate, as perpetual capital becomes an increasingly central part of how private markets grow. Secondaries also had a breakout year, with record capital raised as demand for liquidity solutions continues to build.

For managers and allocators, the investor base is broadening, new structures are scaling, and the pipeline of opportunity continues to grow.

📊 KKR's inaugural End-Investor Survey takes a close look at where individual investors stand on private markets today.

Based on more than 1,000 investors with $500K+ in investable assets, interest is growing and around 20% of non-investors expect to allocate within the next two years. Lack of knowledge remains the most commonly cited barrier, and financial advisors continue to be the primary source of guidance. Conversations grounded in outcomes tend to be the most effective in building confidence.
