Listen Time 36:19 MIN
Private markets have experienced significant growth in recent years and AUM is expected to reach $18 trillion in 2027 (Preqin). I dive into the driving factors on this episode with guest Matt Malone, President and Head of Investment Management of Opto Investments, a platform that provides RIAs with access to private investments. Matt explains how more non-institutional investors are allocating to the space. This trend has likely contributed to the SEC’s recent proposal to increase the regulation of private funds, of which we examine the potential impacts. Lastly, we discuss the suitability of private investments.
