About This Episode
Private equity and venture capital funds have consistently outperformed public markets. But beyond those funds, there is a more specialized approach for investors to capitalize on the private markets: secondary transactions, often known as “secondaries.” My guest today, Andrew Krei, will navigate through the complexities of this dynamic sector, highlighting its potential rewards for investors seeking alternative paths for capital growth. He will also discuss the trends and advantages that the secondaries market offers over traditional PE or VC investments.
