# Private market funds: what HNIs should know before investing 2026-08-07T17:54:26+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A Julius Baer report urges high-net-worth individuals to evaluate private market investments through risk, return and time. Illiquidity, often seen as a risk, is actually a feature that allows fund managers to improve assets before selling. Capital is deployed gradually and returned over three to five years on average, not the full 10-year fund life. Diversification across managers, strategies and vintage years helps reduce liquidity risk. Exit timing depends heavily on market conditions, so investors must set realistic cash flow expectations. ## Coverage - businesstoday.in Tags: diversification, HNIs, illiquidity, investment horizon, Julius Baer, private market funds Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/private-market-funds-what-hnis-should-know-before-investing/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
