Private Markets Investing
Portfolios focused on generating outperformance
Building a successful private investment portfolio requires a deep understanding across asset classes, strategies, and geographies.
Why Cambridge Associates?
Yesterday's pioneers, today's leading-edge investors
As one of the earliest proponents of private markets investing, we have been partnering with sophisticated institutional and family investors to shape the global private markets investment landscape for five decades. We are a leader in private markets investing, often being the first stop for new and emerging managers who are spinning out from larger firms.
And while private investments have consistently proven to drive portfolio performance for investors with meaningful allocations, there is a wide dispersion in returns between the best and the rest.
That’s why we have continually invested in the resources, experience, and infrastructure to source, evaluate, and access high conviction private investments around the globe.

Sourcing and accessing funds is multi-pronged and decades-long
For each private investment portfolio, we aim to generate strong investment returns across market cycles.
For us, that means sourcing high-conviction managers and allocating meaningful enough capital to those funds, across strategies, geographies, and vintage years, to impact portfolio returns.
It also means developing deep and specialized capabilities across all private investment strategies to help ensure that there is no shortage of best ideas for our clients.
