Democratising private equity: Expanding access to growth

Private equity has long been associated with institutional investors, but growing demand and new investment structures are helping broaden access to private market opportunities.

In this episode of FTSE Russell Convenes, Indrani De speaks with Sean O'Hara, President of Pacer ETF Distributors, about the appeal of private equity and venture capital, the impact of companies remaining private for longer, and the increasing interest from retail investors. The conversation explores how innovative ETF and index-based approaches can provide exposure to private equity return characteristics through liquid, publicly traded investments, potentially reducing some of the traditional barriers to entry.
