In an article published on 14 October 2021 in the Financial Times, Elif Aktuğ, Managing Partner, looks at the ongoing democratisation of private markets in general and private equity in particular.
It is inevitable that this trend will only continue and if dealt with correctly, this can be positive since it allows investors to diversify their portfolios and — potentially — generate better returns.
However, opening the asset class to a wider circle of investors bears risks too and Elif Aktuğ dissects the impact on valuations, the current investment cycle and the importance of a trusted advisor when searching for investable assets.
