Investor Explains Private Equity vs Public Equity

This podcast dives into the key differences between public equity and private equity investing, focusing on advisor-led strategies. We start with a brief history lesson on both asset classes, followed by a comparison of potential returns, with private equity typically offering higher returns at the cost of liquidity. We explore the nuances of diversification, accessibility, and investment control, highlighting the greater ease of access and broader diversification in public markets. We also examine the different fee structures between public and private investments, with private equity demanding higher management fees and profit-sharing arrangements.
