While investment trusts have long offered access to illiquid assets, the emergence of long-term asset funds (LTAFs) is offering wealth managers a new and innovative route into private markets for the first time. In particular, they are  bridging the gap between traditional daily-dealing funds and long-term locked-up vehicles, according to James Lowe, director of private markets and investment trusts at Schroders, in the latest podcast episode exploring the rise of private markets.

The shift reflects a new mindset – and this latest episode explores whether the asset management sector is ready for it.

But how integral will private markets be for long-term returns? And will the LTAF model could be a game-changer for wealth managers seeking growth and stability?

We explore this and more in the latest episode of Private Markets: Uncovered.
