Beyond 60/40: Private assets in an era of high public valuations
A combination of elevated public stock and bond valuations, recalcitrant inflation, and higher-for-longer interest rates could be creating new challenges for 60/40 portfolios and an attractive entry point to private markets.
Key Takeaways
- Valuations in public markets remain at lofty levels. Persistent inflation could keep interest rates higher for longer.
- High valuations and an elevated rate environment, combined with other factors like strong correlations between stocks and bonds, could create challenges for investors with 60/40 portfolio allocations.
- Periods of high public equity valuations have historically represented attractive entry points to private markets. A balanced portfolio of alternatives has meaningfully outperformed following past periods of elevated public equity valuations and interest rates.
- Adding private markets to a 60/40 portfolio has historically enhanced returns while minimizing volatility, boosting returns per unit of risk across market cycle.
In light of public valuations, Apollo have put together three pieces to help investors understand the compelling opportunities that are arising in private markets. Across podcast, whitepaper and masterclass, the team dives into the current investment landscape across public and private markets, the areas that they are finding opportunities and risks, and the outlook for the years ahead.
