Private markets demystified: Why are private markets the future of wealth management?

Michael Sidgmore, Co-Founder and Partner, Broadhaven Ventures and the AGM Studio, shared how private markets are addressing this critical issue while driving innovation, education, and regulatory progress.

• Liquidity through innovation: Michael Sidgmore highlighted the rise of evergreen structures, which balance access and liquidity by lowering investment minimums, simplifying operations, and offering flexibility for individual investors in private markets.
• Bridging the access gap: While institutions allocate 20-40% of their portfolios to private markets, individual investors allocate just 1-3%. Michael emphasized the need for education and regulatory advancements, such as including private market products in 401(k) plans, to close this gap.
• Humanizing private markets: By connecting private markets to everyday experiences - like the products we use and the companies we interact with - Michael underscored the importance of building trust and understanding to drive broader adoption.
