Why invest in private markets?
- Diversification: Private company investments offer a unique avenue for diversification because they don't always move in sync with public markets.
- Maximize returns: With companies staying private longer than ever, value creation is happening in the private markets.
- Reduce volatility: the lack of correlation with public markets means that private company investments can act as a hedge against stock market volatility
