Access for All

“The democratisation of private equity is about broadening access to the asset class, both in terms of who can invest and the ways in which they do so.”

Many wealthy individuals and their families can attribute their success to entrepreneurship, and so this business-building theme can resonate strongly with them. Until recently, it has only been the ultra-high-net-worth and family office components of the private wealth space that have been able to access the asset class.
