Private equity has the proven potential to create generational wealth for investors. It also has the potential to create a "decade of disappointment" when expected returns don't live up to the marketing hype. With the increasing variety of fund structures and strategies, it is more critical than ever to learn how to recognize and avoid some of the common pitfalls that can detract from returns. Please join us for an inside look and learn how to create a better experience when investing across private markets.


During this session, we will:

  • Identify the most common drags on return in private equity
  • Compare the pros and cons of various structures
  • Explore the nuances of secondary and co-investment deal flow
  • Quantify the potential impact on returns that can be avoided
  • Q & A
