In this episode, host Shana Orczyk Sissel sits down with John Lidington, Portfolio Manager at Man Numeric, to explore the evolving world of liquid private equity—an innovative way that seeks to capture private equity–style returns through public markets.

John shares how Man Numeric’s liquid private equity strategy bridges the gap between public and private markets, offering investors access to private equity–like exposure without the high fees, illiquidity, or lock-up periods of traditional PE funds.

Key Takeaways:

• How liquid private equity works—and how public equities can be used to seek exposure to certain private equity characteristics.
• The quantitative and fundamental factors that drive Man Numeric’s approach to identifying companies with private equity–like characteristics.
• Why more companies are choosing to stay private longer, and what that means for public market investors.
• How investors can gain private equity exposure without high fees, illiquidity, or long lock-up periods.
• Practical insights into building diversified portfolios that capture the benefits of both public and private market dynamics.

Watch now to learn how the boundaries between public and private markets are blurring—and what that means for the future of investing.
