Private equity has evolved dramatically over the past two decades, with many firms chasing progressively larger deals as they scale. Claire Smith, who leads Schroders Capital's private markets business in Australia, explains why they're deliberately swimming against this tide by maintaining a focus on small and mid-cap opportunities.
During our conversation at the 2025 Premium Alt Invest Forum, Claire reveals the mathematical logic behind their strategy: "It's much easier to double the size of a small company than it is to double the size of a large company." This simple principle drives their pursuit of diversification from listed markets through companies with truly idiosyncratic risk profiles.Praemium Limited is the issuer of the Investment Leaders and Advice Leaders podcasts.

The private credit secondaries market is experiencing explosive growth, on track to match the $140 billion private equity secondaries market by 2030. Martins Marnauza, Investment Partner at Coller Capital, walks us through this fascinating yet often overlooked corner of the alternative investments landscape.
Providing liquidity to institutional investors trapped in 10-year closed-end funds has become big business. What started as a niche opportunity during the global financial crisis has evolved into a sophisticated market with multi-billion dollar transactions.Marnauza explains how Coller Capital purchases performing private credit assets at discounts, then benefits as these loans are repaid at par. This creates an unusual positive asymmetry rarely found in credit markets.
The conversation explores both LP-led transactions (investors selling fund interests) and GP-led restructurings (managers organising liquidity solutions). We discover why major institutional investors increasingly use secondaries to actively manage their portfolios, whether due to strategy shifts, regulatory changes, or extended loan durations.
For investors seeking strong risk-adjusted returns, private credit secondaries offer an attractive combination of downside protection, current income, and shorter duration compared to primary investments.Praemium Limited is the issuer of the Investment Leaders and Advice Leaders podcasts.
