I’ve seen this a lot recently all over the news, but calling this a PE sales pitch misses the point. Broadening access could mean smaller companies get capital while regular people diversify beyond mega-cap tech.
This is one of those stories that makes you question if the financial system is designed to keep the majority of the working population away from real wealth creation.
Now your retirement can be exit liquidity for private assets. WOW!
People keep forgetting that if you suddenly open the floodgates for retail into private markets, PE firms aren’t handing you their best deals. They’ll offload the junk.
I do not understand this graphic – like hardly at all. Can someone break down some of the most important features of it; explain what means what?
Maybe consider scaling it by market cap instead revenue. That’s ultimately how investors think about allocation (how much equity and debt are investable)
Not all private businesses are owned by private equity, in fact most aren’t.
This is hilarious!
It’s because it’s speculative! Not nest egg money for middle America!
Maybe they should just take the best performing stuff and package them up in bundles to reduce risk. Then remove most of the investment fees out of them so they dont eat into long term returns.
Oh wait. Thats a 401k.
“investible”?
>Investible universe: established companies, defined as those with over $10 million in annual revenue and more than 10 employees.
Oh good, that makes sense. I was worried for a minute, I thought “investible” meant something crazy like “some company you can gamble on” or something like “some company you can somehow take a “stake” in which equates to basically decentralized slavery” or something crazy!
