Illiquidity in private markets doesn’t have to constrain allocation design with a clear liquidity stack: semi-liquid structures, secondaries, NAV financing, and a treasury sleeve backed by cash-flow modeling and governance triggers. This turns lockups into a manageable variable, letting institutions maintain pacing, meet obligations, and harvest private-market return premia without forced sales.

Private credit has grown into a mainstream institutional allocation, offering higher yields, structural protections, and portfolio diversification compared to traditional public debt. Its rise reflects long-term shifts in financing and investing, making it a permanent feature of modern private markets.
