Schroders Capital

Watch this fascinating exchange with Richard Oldfield, CEO of Schroders, in his recent quick-fire conversation with FT Live. Richard’s message is clear: the forces often labelled as “disruptive” are, in reality, powerful opportunities for our industry and investors alike - and nowhere is this more true than in the rapidly evolving world of private markets. At Schroders Capital, we’re seeing this momentum first hand. Demand continues to build across our specialist private markets capabilities, from small–mid market buyouts, continuation investments and venture capital, to energy-transition infrastructure, diversifying and uncorrelated income opportunities across private debt and credit alternatives, and operational real estate strategies. With rapid advances in technology, tokenisation and AI opening even more avenues for innovation, the next decade will be shaped not by disruption, but by the ability to harness these shifts to deliver greater value and relevance for clients. It’s an exciting moment for our business - and for the investors we support across the globe. Marketing material for professional clients only. Capital at risk. 

The third edition of The Private Markets Brief is here!     In this month’s issue we lift the lid on areas of structural and cyclical opportunity across private markets in the current, still-volatile market environment.  We lead with our latest Real Estate Investment Outlook, shining the spotlight on an asset class that has faced some of the greatest pressure over the past several years, but which is now showing signs of a recovery that we believe should gather momentum into 2026.  Elsewhere, we debunk the myths of UK venture capital investing, make the investment case for impact in infrastructure debt, and share insights into the uncorrelated income opportunities within insurance-linked securities (ILS).  This issue also features our usual array of recent platform milestones, and details of recent and upcoming events, including key highlights from our inaugural Private Debt & Credit Alternatives Investor Symposium.

We’re pleased to share the second edition of The Private Markets Brief - Schroders Capital’s monthly newsletter – is now live! This month, we explore the theme of resilience and how this continues to underpin the appeal of private markets - from cyclical and structural drivers across asset classes, to the diversification potential in infrastructure debt, value creation opportunities in the intersection of lower mid-market private equity and sustainability, and how to unlock the resilience and return potential in energy transition infrastructure’s “missing middle”.  Subscribe to stay ahead with high-value thought leadership articles, research papers, our top news headlines, plus key event highlights and initiatives. 👉 Subscribe now to The Private Markets Brief!

In today’s rapidly changing venture capital environment, 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹. While the strongest momentum is currently in AI start-ups, many of which are based in the US, opportunities can be found – and portfolios should include exposure – across managers, sectors and geographies in an increasingly multi-polar innovation landscape. On a sector basis and beyond AI, other technology segments such as fintech and climate tech continue to benefit from durable secular growth. Meanwhile biotechnology and life sciences has seen a significant slowdown in funding and valuations, opening up contrarian opportunities especially for early-stage investments.
