First Private Equity investment
As of
Pioneers
We recognised early on that responsibly implemented
private assets and hedge fund solutions would offer
clients a long-term advantage. We launched our first
private equity investment in 1989 and have since added
private real estate, private debt and hedge funds.
Why Pictet
As a private company, we understand private markets and
believe in their potential to generate returns and support
innovative businesses shaping the future. Our attention to
detail, our independence and our long-term approach have
brought Pictet’s distinctive hallmark of stability
to these areas of investing.
We offer our clients access to attractive, uncorrelated
income streams. Our keen understanding of risk factors
aims to give our investors the comfort of downside
protection.
Why Pictet
Hedge fund strategies fit comfortably with the active
management approach that is at the centre of the Pictet
investment philosophy. Our clients enjoy the many
benefits of hedge funds combined with our conservative
approach to investment. This meticulous attitude to risk
is reflected in our track record, loss ratio and
longevity. We attract exceptional talent: mature
individuals seeking involvement in a long term franchise
complemented by a structured approach to investment
talent incubation and constant refinement of our proven
manager selection process.
Pictet employs a rigorous and systematic approach to
external manager selection. Our multi manager
offering provides access to a wide array of
strategies from proven hedge fund names: this
enables us to deliver our clients, bespoke solutions
from across the risk-return spectrum. We have wide
and deep experience in manager selection and we take
pride in worldwide partnerships built over 30 years.
Our hedge fund manager selection process is exacting
and our approach to due diligence has proven its
effectiveness. Our portfolio construction comes from
an acute risk awareness that is deeply embedded in
our values.

Pictet offers clients the opportunity to diversify
their portfolios by investing in strategies that
rely less on the market to generate performance;
this is accomplished either through low correlation
to markets, or with managed directional exposure.
Our single strategy offering has been developed over
the past 15 years and calls on the strengths of our
in-house investment talent. Each strategy is managed
by a highly focused and well-supported portfolio
team. Our single strategy spans market neutral and
directional equities as well as relative value and
event-driven fixed income. We have demonstrated
uncommon strength in defensive strategies.
Pictet’s multi strategy products have been
skillfully designed to identify diverse sources of
alpha. Our multi strategy hedge funds offer an
attractive combination of performance and
diversification. We harness the power of compounding
while prioritising capital preservation during
periods of market stress. We believe in active
investment and high conviction in this less
constrained investment environment, yet a robust
risk management framework – including a
conservative approach to leverage – is the
foundation of all our investment strategies and
management teams. We are highly vigilant on
correlation between strategies.

For investors with long-term horizons, private assets
offer the potential for enhanced returns. These
investors appreciate the focus on business fundamentals
and the ability to invest in innovative companies that
are shaping the future responsibly.
At Pictet, we entered private markets long before their
investment potential became so sought after. Having
started with private equity in the late eighties, we
have since diversified into private real estate and
private debt. We partnered with companies and many of
today’s leaders in this space early on, and we
continue to invest in exclusive opportunities for
innovation. Over the years we have demonstrated our
depth of expertise with strong results across a range of
strategies, accessible directly through co-investment or
as multi-manager solutions.
We take advantage of the latent value in the private
companies soon to drive the global economy.
Partnering with our manager network and through our
direct offering, we prefer companies with enduring
fundamentals, having proprietary, defensible assets
and exhibiting singular qualities.
Why Pictet
Pictet offers its clients attractive opportunities
to invest in private companies – directly and
through a long-standing manager network.
We cover all stages of the corporate cycle – venture
capital, growth, buyout and turnaround. We look to
realise maximum value through a patient, long term
approach that allows time and space for innovation
to take hold. We complement this where appropriate
through our specialists’ intervention, initiating
and accelerating company transformation. Our
long-term vision is consistent with our pursuit of
value and with our commitment to sustainability and
responsible investing.
We evaluate opportunities with a cold, analytical
eye – it is this objectivity that gives us
confidence in our high level of conviction. Our
identification with entrepreneurial talent comes
from our status as a privately-owned partnership
that has moved and changed to preserve its relevance
over more than two centuries.
Multi Manager
Our record is based on a disciplined and
systematic approach to manager selection, always
seeking to improve our high-quality investment
universe that is global in nature. We ensure
active representation through our seats across
many advisory boards.
Our clients enjoy the benefits of relationships
that go back for more than three decades, yet we
constantly build on our manager intelligence
database and seek new investment frontiers. Our
due diligence process is exacting: we deconstruct
headline performance for maximum transparency,
isolating true value creation that is derived from
revenue growth, operational improvements and
profitability.
Co-investments
Partnering with established General Partners on
select deals offers the ability to deploy capital
at a faster rate while also providing risk
mitigation and portfolio diversification.
Since 1989 our investment specialists have
cultivated valuable relationships with the
world’s leading private equity firms. This
dialogue with our extensive network of General
Partners gives Pictet clients preferential access
to consistent deal flow of the widest scope and
the highest quality.
Thematic
The Pictet name is synonymous with a pioneering
approach to thematic investing. We understand
that private companies are the engines of
innovation across critical areas such as
technology, healthcare and the environment. We
align our investment approach with a firm
commitment to sustainable principles. Our
industry specialists apply their deep sectoral
expertise to uncover attractive investment
ideas. They harness their knowledge to a
rigorous selection process, sourcing new
opportunities and the managers who identify,
resource and support the private companies
destined to drive the global economy.
Direct
Direct investment brings longer-term exposure to
quality private businesses in attractive markets
with secular growth trends – and yet offering
significant transformation potential, harnessed to
the power of compounding.
Pictet’s history, culture and extensive network
make us a natural partner for entrepreneurs,
family-owned businesses and management teams that
share our values of long-term responsible
partnership. With our network comes the ability to
source attractive deals – often off-market –
applying a combined sectoral and geographic
approach. Our focused investment targets European
middle-market businesses in three defined
verticals: business services, education and
industrials. We have a long-term mindset, working
alongside management in order to take quality
businesses to the next level.
Real Estate
We identify compelling investment opportunities
through our extensive network and local presence in
key European markets. We generate value through our
experienced investment teams, applying our rigorous
investment philosophy and processes. Our heritage
and client-centric approach make us a trusted
partner.
Why Pictet
Pictet is a real estate partner of choice thanks to
our deep, long-standing fiduciary credentials and
close alignment of interests with our investors. We
have a distinct investment philosophy that delivers
uncorrelated sources of alpha: high conviction
investments with a thematic focus and a prudent
risk-management approach.
Our offering spans an array of strategies for income
and capital growth, delivered through direct and
multi manager solutions, as well as co-investment
opportunities. We are at the forefront of
sustainability-driven investment in real estate.
Direct
Pictet’s network, the cumulative
experience of our people and their industry
relationships over more than a century, allow us
to provide investors direct access to
opportunities through our Core Plus and
Value-add strategies. We have assembled an
exceptional team from top Private Equity Real
Estate firms, present locally in six European
countries. This gives us early and preferential
access to deal prospects.
We are active investors. We create value in our
portfolio assets independently of market
conditions and leveraging long-term, thematic
investment drivers such as technology,
sustainability, and flexibility. The European
built environment faces substantial
environmental challenges and changing
regulation: this puts sustainability at the
heart of our investment process, bringing rich
potential for creation of added value.
Providing diversified exposure with stable
risk-adjusted returns, our multi manager platform
is an ideal solution for investors. We construct
diversified portfolios by blending fund vintages,
geographies and strategies which include Defensive
Plays, Asset Value Growth and Special
Situations.
Our managers range from the smaller niche players
to the world’s largest real estate managers.
We believe smaller managers with a local, hands-on
approach are well placed to generate alpha through
their sourcing and execution capabilities, in
harmony with our high level of conviction.
Co-investments
Pictet’s long history as a trusted,
long-term partner gives our clients access to
attractive high conviction co-investment deals
– at speed – through our established
and extensive industry network. These
opportunities may be housed as single assets or
through a portfolio of assets, or alternatively
sit within the context of our direct or multi
manager Real Estate offerings. All our
co-investment propositions are consistent with our
usual high-conviction, thematic-driven investment
philosophy. Target sectors and locations may vary
depending on the opportunity set and market
environment.

opportunities in companies with solid fundamentals
that can benefit from our partnership approach and
from managers with a proven, principled investment
process.
Why Pictet
Pictet’s longstanding credit heritage and
deep expertise provides our clients with unique
private credit opportunities via direct lending
and manager selection.
Meticulous credit selection and strict due
diligence lies at the heart of our approach. We
prioritise credit fundamentals with precise asset
selectivity, coupled with careful portfolio
construction.
Direct
Direct investment in private debt gives Pictet
clients access to an investment philosophy based
on first-principles credit selection and careful
portfolio construction with a focus on
Europe’s attractive lower middle market.
Our extensive network and local expertise
deliver a range of proprietary off-market deals
that offer attractive risk-return profiles.
We believe in strong partnership, providing
bespoke, flexible capital structures to our
investee companies. Our partnership approach
ensures corporates and private equity sponsors
can rely on our deep sectoral expertise, speed
of execution and an ability to structure
solutions that drive operational, strategic and
ESG improvements. We are long-term partners for
growth in the businesses in which we invest,
usually as the sole lender, offering strategic
and operational guidance. Our strong ESG ethos
is consistent with a long-term view on
sustainability and its inherent place in value
creation.
Our global multi manager strategy provides an
effective solution for those seeking
diversification across managers, regions and
vintages while allowing us to retain an
opportunistic approach to portfolio construction.
We seek to generate returns from a diverse mix of
sub-strategies that covers the entire spectrum of
alternative credit such as direct lending,
corporate special situations, restructuring and
distressed. Investing across vintages allows
investors to build all-weather exposure to the
private debt asset class and benefit from asset
allocation over a credit cycle.
Understanding each manager’s investment process,
idea generation and approach to due diligence when
underwriting credit risk is fundamental to the
manager selection process. We invest in proven
managers who have stood the test of time across
different cycles and whose track records pass
extensive scrutiny.
