Adams Street’s inaugural Advisor Outlook report reveals strong and growing client demand for private market exposure, with 92% expecting the asset class to outperform public markets over the long term. Reflecting this optimism, over two-thirds (67%) of financial advisors (FAs) anticipate a rise in the proportion of clients allocating to private markets within the next three years. Drawing on insights from over 100 wealth managers globally, the report explores the evolving role of private markets in wealth management, the trends shaping allocations, investor priorities, and the tools that are making private markets more accessible than ever before.

Adams Street Partners is honored to be recognized by Preqin League Tables 2025 as one of the 'Most Consistent Top-Performing Private Debt Fund Managers.’ Read more: https://lnkd.in/gr_9cvdZ #privatecredit #privatedebt Ranking issued April 2025. Rankings conducted by Preqin. Fund manager performance was based on average quartile ranking and measured as the average of all of the manager’s funds’ quartile scores, with a minimum of three funds required in order to appear in the table. The entire pool of private equity funds meeting the eligibility requirements (additional information on eligibility requirements is available from the award sponsor) were ranked within each vintage year according to its net IRR. The analysis included fund vintages from 2017-2022. At the time of data extraction, the most recent data was available up to Q2 2024. If a manager had fund(s) with missing data points or data points that were unable to be confirmed, Preqin revisited the average rank list to identify the second-highest fund manager. Preqin maintains league tables that are either taken as a snapshot as of a specific date or which are interactive with Preqin’s live dataset and rank funds on a separate set of eligibility and ranking criteria. The Preqin League Tables are compiled using public domain information and data reported to Preqin by the participants; they are not independently verified or assessed. Preqin cannot therefore guarantee the accuracy of the information provided. Additional details of Preqin’s data collection process are set out in the PC performance data guide and HF performance data guide.
