零售投資者參與私募市場：時機成熟，還是倉促推進？ 廣告 當問及普通投資者是否渴望獲得「超額回報」，幾乎所有人都會舉手。但是，如果前提條件是必須鎖定資金長達七至十年，期間無法提取，恐怕許多人會猶豫縮手。道富環球市場（State Street Global Markets） 近期一項機構投資者的調查顯示，大約 40% 的普通合夥人（GP）預期，在未來兩年內零售資金將佔私募市場集資總額的一半。然而，持相同樂觀預期的有限合夥人（LP）卻不足三成。另一項由 Brown Brothers Harriman 進行全球機構投資者及財富顧問的調查亦發現，儘管有 91% 的受訪者計劃增加對私募市場的配置，但產品供應不足（63%）、缺乏知識（57%）以及鎖定期長（47%）仍是主要障礙。 私募市場的吸引力 私募市場的支持者認為，該類資產是多元化投資組合中不可或缺的一部分，具備潛在的超額回報與分散風險優勢。耶魯大學基金會經常被引用為典範，其在私募股權的長期策略配置據稱在過去三十多年錄得雙位數的年化回報。 透過私募市場工具，零售投資者可接觸傳統互惠基金難以涉足的資產類別，例如基建、收購、創投或私人信貸等。然而，伴隨風險不用忽視，包括資產流動性低、依賴模型的估值方法、資訊披露不透明、潛在的利益衝突、巨大的回報差異、以內部回報率（IRR）為主的績效衡量方法。此外，基金收費結構層層亦相對複雜收費結構，層層費用容易侵蝕實際回報。 為回應市場訴求，創新產品結構近年逐漸興起，例如「常青基金」（evergreen funds）及半流動性基金，讓投資者可定期（如每季）申購及贖回，而非將資金鎖定十年。這類基金結合資本持續再投資策略與定期流動性窗口，並透過流動性資產配置及後備資金機制應對贖回壓力。 可是， 標普全球（ S&P Global） 數據顯示，自 2023 年起，全球新設立的常青基金數量持續下跌，2024 年全球僅推出 15 隻，2025 年首四個月更只錄得 5 隻新基金，反映市場仍抱觀望態度。 前車可鑑：風險不容忽視 Greensill 倒閉導致約 100 億美元投資資金被凍結，截至目前僅追回約 74 億美元。瑞信的機構及高淨值客戶面臨漫長的損失追討索償程序，部分投資者如軟銀（Softbank）已對瑞信提出訴訟，入稟控告瑞信失責。 另一宗備受關注的案例為英國 Neil Woodford 主理的 Woodford Equity Investment Fund（WEIF）倒閉事件。Woodford 曾被譽為明星基金經理，卻將基金從保守策略轉向投資非上市、低流動性的企業，當投資者開始大規模贖回時， WEIF 無法應付，最終被迫關閉。約 30 萬名投資者蒙受損失，其中大多為受 Woodford 名聲吸引的普通儲蓄投資者。事件引發廣泛社會關注，並促使當地監管機構進行流動性風險與公平估值的制度改革。 為何偏偏是現在？ 新加坡：擴闊投資者選擇 新加坡股票市場近年表現相對緩慢：新加坡交易所每日成交額不足香港交易所的十分之一，新股上市數量亦連跌十年。為重振市場，當局成立專責小組檢討市場發展策略，並於今年初公布一系列改革措施。 與此同時，新加坡金融管理局（MAS）推出「長期投資基金」（LIF）建議，讓合資格零售投資者得以參與私募市場基金產品。建議涵蓋有關基金經理資歷、投資對象及集中度限制、持續報告義務及風險說明的要求。MAS 希望 LIF 能與公開股票市場的產品相輔相成，既能保留資金在岸，又能讓投資者在受監管環境下參與私募市場。 CFA 協會與新加坡特許金融分析師學會（CFA Society Singapore ）在聯合回應中支持此審慎推進的做法，並強調必須保障投資者利益、提升產品透明度，以及防止以創新之名行錯誤銷售之實。 澳洲：公開與私募市場的平衡 澳洲擁有全球人均最大退休金資本池之一，但是，澳洲證券交易所（ASX）的新股上市活動已跌至 20 年新低。隨著私募市場提供更多融資選項，上市的吸引力下降，這一趨勢亦見於美國、英國、加拿大及德國等成熟市場。 2025 年 3 月，澳洲證券與投資委員會（ASIC）發表討論文件，徵詢市場對提升公開市場吸引力、私募市場潛在風險與零售投資者參與私募市場的看法。CFA 協會與澳洲特許金融分析師學會（ CFA Society Australia）在聯合回應中，支持當局提升市場透明度與監管一致性，以確保私募市場發展能真正惠及投資者。 ASIC 主席 Joe Longo 於 6 月公開表示，監管機構「無意倉促監管私募市場」，而是優先聚焦提升資訊透明度、數據收集與估值準則，待條件成熟後才考慮進一步的監管措施。作為提升市場開放度與可及性的其中一項舉措，ASIC 宣佈展開為期兩年的試驗計劃，縮短首次公開招股時間表，以降低執行風險，提升市場吸引力。 結語：開放市場之餘，須守好風險防線
