Key investor questions:
- What are the key cyclical and structural changes in private markets that present generational opportunities for investors?
- How are liquidity conditions improving in private markets, and what impact does this have on investment opportunities?
- What is the growing importance of the lower middle market in private investments, and how can investors benefit from this trend?
- What are the potential benefits of allocating to private equity, private credit, real estate, and real assets?
Prospective investors should be aware that investments in private funds or alternative investment strategies are suitable only for qualified investors who do not require liquidity and who can bear the economic risk, including the potential for a complete loss, of their investment. Investors are encouraged to consult their tax or legal advisors before making such investments.
