Private Markets Investor

Private markets offer the appeal of a higher return, but also come with a higher risk of failure and lower liquidity than public markets. Private markets include a large variety of investments that range from venture capital to real estate to art and everything in between. There’s a lot to navigate because there’s a large spread between the best-performing and worst-performing investments, so understanding them is even more important. Even for those who are comfortable with alternative investments, this collection can help educate you on the ins and outs of private market investing.

Intro to Alternative Investments

Alternative investments (“alts”) refer to any assets that are not stocks, bonds, or cash. Common types of alts include private equity, private debt, hedge funds, real estate, and crypto, but the world of alts is vast and can include collectibles like art and NFTs. Alts tend to be less liquid than public equities (stocks and bonds) and are usually made accessible to investors through funds. Historically, alts like VC funds and private equity have only been available to institutional investors. But these investment vehicles have recently become more common with individual investors despite regulatory requirements for investing in certain funds. Investors often turn to alts for their high return potential and ability to diversify an existing portfolio.
