StashAway offers HK investors comprehensive access to private markets with new semi-liquid private infrastructure and equity portfolios

(Hong Kong, August 28 2025) StashAway, Asia’s leading investment platform for both retail and professional investors, has expanded its private markets offering in Hong Kong and Singapore with two new semi-liquid offerings –  Private Infrastructure and Private Equity – which offer higher liquidity than traditional funds. With this, Professional Investors can access institutional-class private market investments from Hamilton Lane, a global private markets specialist with over USD $956B (HK$7.47 trillion) in assets under management. 

Today, over 87% of companies generating more than USD $100 million (HK$781 million) in revenue are privately held – a trend that’s expected to continue, with private markets projected to triple in size over the next decade. As more growth opportunities stay private, high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) are increasingly turning to private markets to build long-term wealth. Private infrastructure and credit, which offer target returns of 10-12% p.a.* as the asset class level, have gained greater attention from HNWIs. 

Stephanie Leung, Chief Investment Officer of StashAway said, “While public markets continue to face uncertainty, the private market sector is thriving as investors in Hong Kong seek better returns – even in turbulent times. HNWIs are desiring greater access to these opportunities but with added diversification, lower volatility, and higher returns. While traditional private market funds require high minimums and long lock-ups, our new semi-liquid portfolios break down these barriers with lower minimums, cost-effective fees, and monthly liquidity. ”

Unlike traditional private market funds with 10 to 15 year lock-ups, StashAway’s new portfolios offer monthly liquidity after a short initial lock-up period. Consistent with StashAway’s existing private markets offering, the portfolios come with significantly lower minimums and fees compared to banks. While private banks often charge up to 3.5% in total management fees, StashAway clients pay only the fund-level fee and a 0.5% StashAway fee. 

How private equity and infrastructure strengthen long-term portfolios 

Private infrastructure and private equity offer diversification from public markets, adding resilience to portfolios. Historically, both asset classes have outperformed public equities, while experiencing lower volatility. For example, adding a 10% private infrastructure allocation to a traditional 60/40 portfolio from 2014 to 2024 would have increased returns by 5.3% and reduced volatility by 10.6%. 

Both portfolios offer broad, multi-manager diversification through a single investment. The Private Infrastructure portfolio provides exposure across sectors such as energy, transport, digital networks, and utilities. The Private Equity portfolio is diversified across private equity life stages, geographies, and vintages.

These portfolios reflect StashAway’s broader commitment to simplifying access to the best investment solutions. The launch comes one year after StashAway introduced Private Credit in Hong Kong, expanding the platform’s suite of private market solutions for Professional Investors. Professional Investors can also access unbiased, personalised wealth advisory through StashAway Reserve, the company’s dedicated offering for HNWIs.
