Secondaries First: Accessing Innovation Before the IPO
From artificial intelligence and fintech to space exploration, some of today’s most groundbreaking companies are staying private and staying that way for longer, growing to enormous size before ever going public. For investors who stick to listed equities, that means missing a big part of the modern growth story.
We discuss:
- Why companies are staying private for longer and what that means for investors.
- How data, regulation and technology are reshaping the secondary market.
- The rise of index-based products that give investors structured, diversified access to pre-IPO growth.
