Episode Summary

Private equity has become an increasingly important asset class in recent years, as institutional investors have allocated more of their portfolios to private equity strategies. This is due in part to the attractive returns that private equity firms have been able to generate, as well as the diversification benefits that private equity investments can provide. 

We invited Miriam Gottfried, the private equity reporter at The Wall Street Journal, to join us on the first episode of Signals by AlphaSense. Miriam and our host Nick Mazing, the Director of Research at AlphaSense, discuss the biggest trends in private equity today.
