Private Wealth

Key changes are still required to ensure individual investors have access to private markets, says Pilar Junco, co-chief client officer at AltamarCAM Partners.

As new investor bases start engaging with private equity, Mike Lucarelli and Jim Walker of Adams Street Partners explore what’s required to capitalise on this newfound interest.

Evergreen and closed-end funds will continue to co-exist, gradually taking on different roles across the private markets space, says Jennifer Collard, global head of wealth and intermediaries at Permira.

Managers benefit from a favourable regulatory environment and evolving fund structures, say Fried Frank’s Jeremy Berry and Robert MacVicar.
