Episode notes
Private Markets Capture The Best Companies
- The private markets now house many large, mature companies that used to list publicly, shifting corporate ownership to private capital.
- Evergreen funds let advisors reallocate a slice of public equity exposure into private markets for broader diversification.
Prefer Evergreen For Continuous Compounding
- Use evergreen structures to gain continuous exposure across deal lifecycles instead of episodic drawdowns.
- Being fully invested from day one compounds returns more effectively than intermittent capital calls.
Evergreens Align With Founder Preferences
- Evergreen strategies can attract founders who prefer long-term private partnerships rather than public markets.
- These funds can take pieces alongside primary deals, enhancing deal certainty for sellers and GPs.
