How Everyday Investors Are Getting Into Private Markets

​Private markets are opening up – but what are you actually buying?

​The world’s most valuable companies today – in AI, space, fintech, software – aren’t rushing to list. They’re staying private longer, and all that stratospheric growth was locked behind accreditation rules, high minimums, and exclusive networks. By the time they hit public markets, a big chunk of the upside has already been captured by a small circle of big institutions and well-connected insiders.

​That’s starting to change – and fast.

​New structures are making private market exposure available to retail investors through everyday brokerage accounts. But they’re not all built the same – and “access” doesn’t always mean what you think it does.

​So to break it all down, Finimize head of research Reda Farran will be sitting down with Ben Black (founder and CIO of Powerlaw Corp. and a 20-year private equity veteran), to map this new landscape of products – how they work, what you’re really buying, and what to watch out for.

​Here’s what they’ll cover:

• ​Why top companies are staying private longer – and what that means for your portfolio

• ​The structures opening the door (think interval funds, BDCs, and secondaries)

• ​What you’re really buying when you invest in “private markets”

• ​The reality checks: liquidity, valuations, timelines – and where risks can hide

• ​A practical checklist for sizing up these opportunities
