Private markets solutions – bespoke mandates 

With an average target allocation of around 23%1, private markets investments have become a strategic component of institutional investors’ portfolios. However, unlike liquid investments, private markets come with specific challenges in terms of market access and investment cycle. Allianz Global Investors offers tailor-made private markets solutions under one roof, helping clients achieve their investment goals.

Integrated, tailor-made private markets portfolios under one roof

As a strategic investment partner to our clients, Allianz Global Investors offers private markets solutions with an integrated and holistic approach to private markets portfolios. These solutions combine all the expertise of the Allianz Global Investors investment platform2 and risklab3 – in the areas of investments, asset allocation and portfolio construction – in the form of tailor-made client portfolios. To meet client needs as effectively as possible, “invest with Allianz” programmes are supplemented with complementary investments.

We design and implement portfolios adapted to individual client objectives – income, growth, liability focus or very specific client requirements, such as fund solutions for defined contribution pension plans.

We offer efficient, differentiated access to investments across the full range of asset classes, regions and direct or indirect market routes. Where required, this is combined with suitable liquid investments in order to facilitate access to private markets and efficient management of capital calls and redemptions.

We provide transparency and key insights across the whole portfolio through comprehensive analytical functions for planning, monitoring and reporting.

Experienced team of solutions experts

A team of investment solution experts is responsible for private markets client portfolios, and provides access to over 160 private markets investment professionals, as well as structuring and administration support teams.

Comprehensive solutions

Allianz Global Investors private markets solutions are integrated solutions based on a robust, coordinated process following the steps of plan, build and review. The process is flexible and allows a high degree of client customisation.

Private markets investments are highly illiquid and designed for professional investors pursuing a long-term investment strategy only.

Investing involves risk. The value of an investment and the income from it may fall as well as rise and investors might not get back the full amount invested. Investing in fixed income instruments may expose investors to various risks, including but not limited to creditworthiness, interest rate, liquidity and restricted flexibility risks. Changes to the economic environment and market conditions may affect these risks, resulting in an adverse effect to the value of the investment. During periods of rising nominal interest rates, the values of fixed income instruments (including short positions with respect to fixed income instruments) are generally expected to decline. Conversely, during periods of declining interest rates, the values of these instruments are generally expected to rise. Liquidity risk may possibly delay or prevent account withdrawals or redemptions. The volatility of fund unit/share prices may be increased or even strongly increased. Past performance does not predict future results. If the currency in which the past performance is displayed differs from the currency of the country in which the investor resides, then the investor should be aware that due to the exchange rate fluctuations the performance shown may be higher or lower if converted into the investor’s local currency.
