BTE Newsletter #4: Are We Going to See a Bunch of Zombies in Private Markets?
This week included a couple of great in-person events where I got to present on private markets. One was with the Burlington Chamber of Commerce while the other was with McMaster’s DeGroote Finance and Investment Club (DFIC).
hosted by the Burlington Chamber of Commerce.
Speaking of presenting, I'm always looking for more chances to talk about private markets and help people learn something new. I’ve been running lunch-and-learns recently (yes, free lunch included) and would love to do more. So if your office, team, or any group wants to learn more about private markets, just reach out here. Let’s make it happen.
Also to all the new subscribers from those events (and elsewhere), welcome! Happy to have you following along here for the latest trends in private markets, and make sure to share with anyone you think may be interested. The first three issues of the newsletter can be seen below.
