Private Markets: Access, Innovation & the Next Era of Growth

Private markets have expanded from a niche allocation into a central pillar of global portfolio construction. Over roughly 25 years, the space has grown into a multi-trillion-dollar industry, driven by extended private-company life cycles, evolving investor preferences, and rapid innovation in product design and digital infrastructure.
We have partnered with and engaged numerous elite stakeholders across the private-markets landscape — investment managers, institutional investors, wealth leaders, pension specialists, and fintech players — to assemble a 360-degree perspective on where private markets are heading next.
Major themes include:

• A broader investor universe demanding access
• Blending of public and private portfolios
• Need for better liquidity solutions
• Growth and sophistication of secondaries
• Technology and AI as core differentiators
• The build/buy/partner decision for firms expanding capability
