What
Painter Lane provides clients with optionality and the associated execution dexterity to maximise returns across private portfolios.
Data driven portfolio analytics coupled with streamlined, low friction cost, implementation services.
As a proponent of real option theory, Painter Lane believes actionable optionality provides the platform for clients to maximise future outcomes.
Why
Private assets continue to grow in size and complexity. Asset owners continue to develop capability. With increased sophistication comes alternative paths to chosen risk exposures.
Rigorous research and deep long‑term analysis indicate returns are maximised by a dynamic portfolio review process.
Investments fit for purpose in the past may no longer be: core and performing, provide broader strategic portfolio value, be permissible under evolving mandates, be right sized and fee appropriate. They may unnecessary impact the liquidity profile.
With alternative investment opportunities consistently presenting themselves and the need to consolidate disparate portfolios over time, private portfolio management is increasing in importance.
When
A regular, systematic review process delivers optimised outcomes. Not regular trading.
Market conditions inevitably evolve. As does asset allocation. Mergers are executed. Regulation changes. Investment personnel, philosophies and strategies change, SAA makes way for TPA. Asset performance becomes evident over time, to the point, relative performance mobility is rare. Vintage risk is growing. Variant perception ever present. Value creation is not a linear journey.
Look through risk exposure analysis shows portfolio risk to single thematics and sub-sectors, move and often, concentrate over time. GP creep over time requires consolidation to secure relevance, optimal fee load and coinvest priority. Cognitive and institutional bias exist in all our businesses.
Macroeconomic shocks are a certainty. In these dislocations, we ensure local long-term capital stewards - with generational investment horizons - are best placed to take the opportunities their global competitive advantage provides.
While liquidity considerations are ever present. Enhanced by switching. Liquidity considerations should ideally, not be confined to a subset of the portfolio.
How
Painter Lane is intentionally independent and unaligned. Our only alignment is with our clients. Various solutions are delivered in‑house or via our network of global partners, after ensuring that the best terms, costs and outcomes are secured for clients.
Painter Lane focuses on a set of distinct avenues to dynamically manage private portfolios, extending well beyond traditional divestment proposals.
If, following regular systematic review, an adjustment is rational, the preferred option is selected after analysing costs, asset values, timeliness and risk profiles.
