FAQs

How does Endowus give accredited investors access to private markets and hedge funds?

Endowus curates top-tier private equity, private credit, private real assets, and hedge fund strategies through its Investment Office using the SMART+ framework — screening for performance, cost, investment process, and risk.

‍

All funds are accessible on the Endowus platform with no sales charges and no subscription fees. A single transparent Endowus Fee covers advice, access, and custody. Assets are held in your name at UOB Kay Hian under a double-ledger security structure.

What are private markets and why do HNW investors allocate to them?

Private markets refer to investments in assets not traded on public exchanges — including private equity (stakes in private companies), private credit (direct loans to businesses), private real estate, and infrastructure.

‍

HNW investors allocate to private markets for higher return potential, portfolio diversification, and low correlation to public market volatility. The trade-off is illiquidity: private market funds typically lock up capital for 3–10 years.

What is private wealth management and how is it different from private banking?

Private banking bundles investment products with banking services from one institution — often with potential conflicts of interest where product commissions paid to the bank sways the choice of products that are pushed to clients. Private wealth management is broader and independent: it covers financial planning, portfolio construction, tax planning, and estate planning across multiple providers.

‍

The key difference: an independent private wealth manager is remunerated by the client rather than by product providers, which reduces potential conflicts of interest.

What is the difference between private equity and private credit?

Private equity involves buying stakes in private companies with the aim of growing and eventually exiting at a profit. Private credit involves lending directly to businesses (often those underserved by banks) and earning interest income. Private equity targets higher returns with higher risk and longer time horizons. Private credit offers more predictable income with lower volatility, making it attractive to investors seeking yield with lower correlation to equities.

How do hedge funds work and what strategies do they use?

Hedge funds are actively managed investment vehicles that use a range of strategies to generate returns regardless of market direction. Common strategies include long/short equity, market neutral, global macro, merger arbitrage, and quantitative (systematic) approaches. Unlike mutual funds, hedge funds can short-sell, use leverage, and invest across asset classes. They target absolute returns with low correlation to stock and bond markets — providing valuable diversification in a broader portfolio.

What are liquid alternatives and how do they differ from traditional hedge funds?

Liquid alternatives are investment funds that use hedge-fund-like strategies — long/short, market neutral, managed futures — but are structured as regulated, daily-traded funds with no lock-up periods. Traditional hedge funds typically require longer commitments (1–3 year lock-ups) and higher minimums.

‍

Liquid alternatives offer similar diversification benefits at lower minimums and with greater flexibility, making them a practical entry point to alternative investing for accredited investors.

How should accredited investors manage liquidity when committing to private market funds?

Private market funds have lock-up periods ranging from 3–10 years, so investors should only commit capital they won't need in the near term. A common approach is maintaining a 'liquidity ladder': keeping sufficient cash and liquid assets (money market, public bonds) for near-term needs while allocating illiquid private market capital proportional to long-term goals. Staggering commitments across vintage years also smooths exposure and manages concentration risk.
