Evolving Private Market Landscape: The Institutional Shift from Public to Private Markets

November 05, 2018

2018 Investment Symposium flash talk by Derek Schmidt, CFA, CAIA

Investors are adapting to an investment landscape altered by a 46% decline in the number of publicly traded companies and the emergence of less expensive passive investment opportunities. These changes have shifted record levels of capital into private equity as investors have pursued attractive investment opportunities in small companies. We will discuss how the private equity market has responded to increased investor demand and will attempt to identify where institutional allocations may be headed and where to find the best opportunities for returns within this increasingly diversified private market.
