There is a good reason why Australia’s sovereign wealth fund, the Future Fund, maintains a 16% allocation to private equity. Returns, returns, returns.
Private equity, and the lucrative returns it offers, has traditionally been the restricted domain of institutional investors and off limits to retail investors.
Ellerston Capital's JAADE Private Assets Fund bucks that trend by offering retail investors exposure to unlisted Australian growth companies. Like private equity, JAADE’s managers act as a partner with the companies it invests in by holding a space on their respective boards.
It’s a model that clearly works.
As of June this year, the retail fund has returned 14.48% pa over three years and almost 18% per annum since inception.
In today’s episode, Livewire's David Thornton sits down with Jayne Shaw, Investment Director at Ellerston Capital and analyst for the JAADE fund. Jayne didn’t take the typical road into funds management. Initially trained as a nurse, she went on to take a number of roles in leadership positions in healthcare organisations. This appropriately explains why Jayne looks after the healthcare allocation within the JAADE fund.
She also explains why the “carpark indicator” is a great way to know when the deals are on in private equity.
