Private markets are no longer on the sidelines. With listed companies shrinking and private companies multiplying, alternatives are becoming a core component of diversified portfolios.

In this episode of Fund Shack, Ross Butler speaks with William Benjamin, Head of Alternative Solutions at HSBC Asset Management, about how alternatives are evolving and why investors haven’t “missed the boat” in the 2020s.

Benjamin discusses:

  • Why private equity, credit, infrastructure, and venture capital are central to HSBC’s $75bn alternatives platform

  • The growth of evergreen fund structures and what investors should look for in managers

  • The challenges and opportunities of democratizing access to private markets

  • How HSBC leverages its global footprint to source opportunities beyond New York and London

  • The cultural and career dynamics of talent in alternatives

This conversation explores how one of the world’s largest financial institutions is positioning itself in alternatives, and why Benjamin believes the next phase of growth will be defined not just by institutions, but by the increasing participation of high-net-worth investors.
