Are "alternative investments" like Private Equity and Venture Capital the secret to building wealth, or are they just complicated hype?
In this episode, we break down everything you actually need to know. We ditch the "alternative" label and re-categorize these investments by the job they do for your portfolio: driving growth or providing diversification.
We also debunk the biggest myth in investing: the idea that private assets have low risk. We'll show you why that "low volatility" is a statistical illusion and why assets like private equity carry just as much risk as the stock market.
Join us as we cover:
The "J-Curve": Why you lose money before you make it.
Manager Selection: The massive (and critical) difference between a top-tier manager and an average one.
The Liquidity Trap: The truth about new "liquid" interval funds.
401(k)s: Should you really hold these in your retirement plan?
