About Tilburg Institute for Private Markets

Private Markets are fast growing. They include various asset classes, such as private equity, private debt, infrastructure, real estate, and natural resources. Fundraising has exceeded hundreds of billions of US dollars for the past years, outpacing mutual fund growth. Its returns make these new asset classes an attractive proposition to more and more investors. Also, private market funds increasingly compete with banks and the public markets in providing capital to corporations. The growth of private markets has created a wealthy and powerful industry, which is in large parts still under-researched. Despite many advancements in research, historical performance of private market funds remains uncertain, if not controversial.

Tilburg Institute for Private Debt - TiPD

Private market funds are progressively used by entrepreneurial companies but also by large firms in the form of private equity, private debt, as well as various hybrid forms of infrastructure and real estate finance. Despite its importance in corporate financing and its establishment as an important pool of capital, research in private markets is still in its infancy. TiPM aims to close important research gaps and provides an open platform to promote research, education and networking, in the important field of private markets.
