pAlternative investments are among Pictets key growth areas. At the end of 2021, client assets of 32 billion Swiss francs 32.56 billion were in hedge funds, private equity and real estate funds.
pAt that time, Pictet had a total of 698 billion francs in assets under management or custody.

pPrivate debt is increasingly competing with traditional bank loans. Klein had previously worked at Intermediate Capital Group. Alternative investments are predicted to grow much faster than traditional investments in listed stocks or bonds.
