Private Assets

Private Assets offers access to specialist investments such as infrastructure financing or private equity, which cannot be approached in a traditional way, like stockmarket investing. At Schroders, we have extensive experience in private assets, which started back in 1853 when we financed the expansion of the railway in Cuba.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance and may not be repeated. The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amounts originally invested.  Exchange rate changes may cause the value of any overseas investments to rise or fall.

Alternatives can be more volatile than shares and bonds, and it may be harder to cash in the investment at short notice.
