PEI is the specialist information group that focuses only on alternative asset classes. These have become essential components of many investors’ allocation strategies globally and we major in private equity, real estate, private debt and infrastructure whilst also engaging with emerging new asset classes too. As investors have sought both superior yield and prudent diversification, so alternative assets have grown in importance for all types of investor everywhere. These asset classes are themselves driven by fundamental macro-economic factors: as companies use equity capital to grow and develop, as real estate assets continue to house economic activity, as the provision of debt capital grows beyond the old orthodoxies of the banking industry and as countries seek to improve the infrastructure that makes their economies - and societies - run. PEI has deep connections with the sources of investment capital – including public sector and company pension plans, insurance groups, endowments and family offices - as well as with the fund managers who raise and deploy the funds these investors allocate to. We also have an extensive, global network of relationships with finance and service providers – such as commercial and investment banks, law firms, investment advisors, accountants and consultants - who support these two groups. And thanks to our regional office hubs we can connect with all these communities in every corner of the world all of the time.
