NAB Morning Call · Weekend Edition: 2025: Less growth, but still lots of opportunity · 7 Feb 2025 podcast

Generally, investing is all about getting the balance,

Yeah, I mean, we talked a little bit about private markets already, but that's a pretty big thematic for us because it really does play into that diversification theme.

But the other thing that I think that's going on there is we are seeing a lot more companies stay private, right?

There's access to pretty good capital that comes in the private markets these days.

And obviously a lot of the regulation that comes with being a listed entity starts to get a bit onerous.

So I think it's...

it's a pretty interesting place to look because from an overall portfolio perspective, if you can get the right assets and, you know, cave it, you've got to have the skill to be able and ability to be able to do that and build out a diversified portfolio.

But they really can add to that overall portfolio robustness and resilience because, one, you've got access to a broader opportunity set and,

Two, you'll get diversification because, you know, the nature of the assets, you know, tends to be a little bit different to what you get on the public markets.

And the reality is you get to sort of invest away from the heavy sentiment-driven listed markets, which can obviously demonstrate

Yeah, I mean, the full spectrum for us would absolutely cover those types of assets that you've just mentioned across infrastructure, real estate.

And they're probably the places, if you think of the superannuation industry locally, that most of the super funds were, I guess, first into because they fit quite nicely in the portfolio.

You can think of them a little bit as middle risk assets.

asset classes, they certainly benefited a lot from that humphrey yield environment in the low interest rate environment.

So, building those portfolios, that was probably the first place to go.

But these days, I think you add private debt into the mix, and that's certainly a pretty big thematic and a reasonably new opportunity set because the

debt or private credit markets have really opened up for institutional investors as the banks have to some extent stepped away due to regulation and so lots of opportunity there and private equity of course is the

the other area, which tends to be a bit more up at the higher risk end of the spectrum, but building out a program of private equity assets that, again, subject to all of your sound diversification principles and everything, can give you that expanded opportunity set and buffer a little bit away from the

from the public markets.

I think another interesting thing, and it's sort of less about in the portfolio, but the market developments that are going on in private markets where they have up until now, I think, largely been the domain of institutional investors because of the way you have to access
