They explored the opportunities and challenges presented by the democratisation of private equity markets - how this has broken down traditional barriers and made these investment opportunities accessible to a broader range of investors. Key takeaways included: 💡 Opportunities: Enhanced access for a broader range of investors, greater market efficiency, and increased capital flow to innovative ventures. 💡 Challenges: Ensuring stringent security measures, maintaining high standards of regulatory compliance, and addressing the need for investor education.
