Australia’s growing appetite for private equity investment
The future of private equity (PE) investment in Australia is dynamic and promising. The landscape is changing and BDO Wealth Adviser, Shaun Haden , guides us through the tailwinds driving individual investment in PE, and reasons you might consider PE investment.
Changing market preferences
The number of publicly listed companies has declined in recent decades due to increasing costs and red tape associated with being a public company. As a result, many are opting to stay private. This shift means fewer opportunities to invest in public markets and a growing need to explore private markets, where there is an abundance of emerging and high-potential companies.
Growth in private wealth
There is a rising number of high net-worth (HNW) individuals in Australia, defined as having ‘investable assets of USD$1 million (AUD$1.5 million) or more, excluding their primary residence, collectibles, consumables, and consumer durables’. High-net-worth wealth in Australia grew 7.9 per cent in 2023, well above the global average of 4.7 per cent.
Popularity of private equity investment
PE and unlisted assets have generally been an investment option reserved for institutional investors and funds. However, fuelled by changing behaviours and conditions in the market, PE is surging in popularity amongst individual investors and families.
