Alternative Investments Pt. 4: Private Equity

Episode 35

 

In this episode, we continue our series on alternative investments by talking about private equity.  Private equity is a vehicle by which investors can invest in smaller non-public securities in a diversified manner.  Private equity is riskier than investing in public markets, and also requires your investment to be effectively locked-up for many years. That said, for investors that are sophisticated and can withstand these risks, private equity can be an attractive asset class.  We'll also discuss other risks, fees, and more in this episode.
