Investing in private markets
Frequently Asked Questions
View all FAQs →What are private markets?
Investments in companies, loans and assets that aren't traded on a stock exchange — private equity is the best known.
How big is private equity?
Buyout deals worth US$904 billion were done worldwide in 2025, up 44%, and exits rose 47% to US$717 billion (Bain, 2026).
Who can invest?
Usually eligible investors — professional, sophisticated or high-net-worth individuals, depending on where you live and the fund.
How much do I need?
Platforms often start at around €50,000–€100,000 for individual funds; evergreen funds and secondaries can be lower.
How long is my money invested?
Private equity is long term. Closed-ended funds often run for ten years or more; evergreen funds offer periodic redemptions, usually with limits.
Can someone help me?
Yes. Use the enquiry form on this page and Lawrence, a British expat in Thailand with more than 30 years in international finance, will talk you through your options.
