US PE and VC may remain attractive for long-term growth despite recent volatility

Tuesday, August 19, 2025
Opalesque Industry Update - Omnigence Asset Management has published From Private Equity to Real Estate: Mapping the Alternative Return Landscape, a study examining performance, volatility, and risk-adjusted returns across five core alternative investment sectors: U.S. Private Equity, U.S. Venture Capital, Ex-U.S. Developed Market PE & VC, Emerging Markets PE & VC, and Real Estate.

The analysis draws on 25 years of historical data and recent market performance to help investors navigate a shifting macroeconomic landscape.

- U.S. Private Equity continues to deliver the highest risk-adjusted returns, supported by disciplined acquisition strategies and operational improvements, though near-term performance has been tempered by higher interest rates.

- U.S. Venture Capital remains the most volatile segment, reflecting both the potential of early-stage innovation and the challenges of macro uncertainty.

- Ex-U.S. Developed Markets have posted strong recent gains, while Emerging Markets require selective engagement amid political and currency headwinds.

- Real Estate maintains its role as an income-oriented stabilizer, despite structural and rate-related pressures.

"Alternative assets remain essential tools for diversification and return enhancement," said Stephen Johnston, Director at Omnigence Asset Management. "Our research underscores the importance of aligning allocation decisions not only with return potential, but also with each investor's tolerance for volatility and drawdown risk."

Omnigence Asset Management is a Canadian alternative investment platform specializing in farmland, operational private equity, and secondaries.
