Blockchain Adoption in Private Equity: Expanding Opportunities for Investors

Private equity is increasingly embracing blockchain technology as a means to unlock access to the substantial investable capital held by affluent individuals worldwide. Market leaders, including Hamilton Lane Inc., KKR & Co. Inc., and Partners Group Holding AG, have recently formed partnerships with technology companies, setting the stage for potential advancements in the private equity sector.

Blockchain serves as a financial infrastructure, often referred to as a “digital ledger,” that offers various capabilities, including fund tokenization. Tokenization involves dividing a fund stake into digitalized fractions, enabling more manageable and tradable investments.

This technology broadens the investor base for private equity, which has traditionally been restricted to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals with substantial minimum investment requirements, often in the millions of dollars.

Beyond this limited circle of private equity investors lies the global mass affluent, estimated to hold approximately $80 trillion in investable capital. However, the traditional private equity approach, which involves in-person meetings with fund managers before commitments are made, has deterred efforts to tap into this vast capital pool due to the associated complexities and costs.

Blockchain adoption seeks to alter this dynamic by simplifying and reducing the costs associated with individual investments in private equity funds.

Prominent private equity firms have expressed interest in blockchain, suggesting that competition for investor capital is intensifying. Partners Group became the first major private equity firm to tokenize one of its funds in September 2021, partnering with ADDX Pte. Ltd., a digital securities exchange based in Singapore. Following suit, Hamilton Lane joined forces with ADDX in March to tokenize one of its funds and announced plans to create tokenized feeder funds for three additional funds in collaboration with digital securities platform Securitize Inc. In September, KKR partnered with Securitize to tokenize an interest in the firm’s $4 billion KKR Health Care Strategic Growth Fund II SCSp, with the aim of broadening private equity’s appeal to a broader audience of investors.

However, it’s important to note that certain limitations persist. Tokenized funds are well-suited for retail investors, but U.S. federal securities laws still impose restrictions on who can participate, requiring investors to meet specific wealth and income thresholds. Additionally, there are technical challenges to address, such as the use of blockchain for managing capital calls, a process in which private equity fund managers request previously committed capital from investors.

Access to these funds remains primarily limited to accredited, non-U.S. investors. Nevertheless, tokenization has enabled Partners Group and Hamilton Lane to lower the minimum investment threshold for their funds to as low as $10,000, down from the previous minimum of $125,000.

The adoption of blockchain technology within private equity is still in its early stages, but its influence is expanding across the financial industry. The finance sector, in particular, has been quick to adopt blockchain technology, with nearly a third of firms indicating they are already implementing the technology to streamline operations.

Blockchain is just one avenue for retail investors to access private equity. Alternatives, such as interval funds that offer a balance between liquid and illiquid investments, are also evolving to meet the diverse needs of accredited investors.

However, there are potential risks associated with private equity funds leading the charge into blockchain, including concerns about money laundering and the privacy of investor identities. The development of a secondaries market for private fund tokens could also bring significant changes to the private equity landscape, allowing investors to sell their interest after a one-year lockup period and potentially introducing new levels of volatility and fluctuations in the traditionally stable private equity market.

In conclusion, blockchain adoption in private equity is a notable trend that is gradually democratizing private markets, presenting new opportunities for a broader range of investors while also posing challenges that the industry will need to navigate as it continues to evolve.
