Our Strategies

The Benefits of Private Investments

Alternative investment strategies such as private equity can help eligible investors diversify and grow their portfolios. At BIP Wealth, we help you gain direct access to innovative companies through three unique routes, ensuring your portfolio is diversified to minimize risks.

Private Equity

While returns are not guaranteed, private equity strategies allow investors to acquire positions in private companies. At BIP Wealth, we target returns of 20%, but model 15% in financial planning projections.

Venture Capital

Through BIP Wealth, you get access to BIP Ventures*** and other third party fund managers to invest in innovative companies during their formative stage where your equity share could provide significant gains if the company succeeds.

Private Credit

In private funds, investors can take advantage of debt positions to lend money directly to private companies. We target returns of 10% or higher.

Why BIP

The BIP Approach to Investing in the Private Markets

At BIP Wealth, we help clients unlock opportunities in private markets that are unavailable to most investors. By working with our experienced Personal Wealth Advisors, you’ll have access to alternative investment strategies designed for long-term growth.

Direct Access to Private Companies

Unlike most other firms, our portfolio gives you direct access to private companies in industries such as healthcare, fintech, and enterprise software.

Potential for Higher Returns

Compared to public equities, where average returns on your investment portfolio may be between 8 - 10%, private equity opportunities target 15 - 20% returns; however, investors will need to be comfortable with the risk.

Proactive Approach to Illiquidity

Private market strategies typically require 5 - 7 years to start seeing meaningful returns. Our team, focuses on diversification, types of investments, and risk management to address concerns of illiquidity.

Tailored Strategies

We will work with you to create a strategy that best matches your goals. One guideline is to invest up to a third of your portfolio in private investments, and then tailor your strategy based on your risk tolerance and goals.

Experienced Partnerships

At BIP Wealth, we work with fund managers who have a proven track record and comprehensive due diligence process.
