Podcast: Private markets – myth vs reality

Private markets come with a powerful narrative: patient capital, complexity premia, and access to parts of the economy public markets can’t reach. But with every narrative comes a set of assumptions that don’t always get challenged.

L&G talks

L&G’s Rebecca Burgess, Private Markets Asset Allocation Investment Specialist, and Lushan Sun, Head of Cross-Asset Private Markets Research, unpack some of the most persistent myths surrounding private markets. 

From illiquidity fears to valuation misconceptions, the team explores what’s true, what’s outdated, and what investors may be overlooking.
