Expert advises investors to prioritize capabilities over investment structure in private markets
Nikolas Charalambous, managing director of KENDRIS Capital Limited, advises investors to focus on their expertise and infrastructure rather than choosing between funds, direct investments, or co-investments in private markets. He emphasizes that successful private-market investing requires substantial capabilities to source, assess, negotiate, and monitor investments over many years.
While direct investments offer greater control and potentially lower fees, they demand significant resources and expertise typically possessed by large pension funds or sovereign wealth funds. Co-investments provide a middle ground, allowing investors to participate alongside experienced fund managers with lower fees and shared capabilities.
Charalambous points out that professionally managed funds offer comprehensive institutional structures, including risk management and governance, that individual investors may find hard to replicate. He concludes that combining funds, direct investments, and co-investments according to an investor’s goals and resources is the most effective strategy for long-term wealth creation.
