Summary:

On Demand CE

There are less than half the number of public companies than there were 25 years ago.* More public companies have been taken private, and private companies are staying private longer-sometimes indefinitely*. As a result, we believe much of a company’s initial growth can be realized outside of the public markets.

We believe this shift has significant implications for investors. Private equity could serve as a complement to public markets which are increasingly dominated by large cap companies.

Despite the increased importance of private markets, high minimums, long periods of illiquidity, and risk factors have prevented many investors from accessing the private equity asset class.

An Evergreen private equity fund may help close this gap, making the asset class more accessible while providing investors with exposure to the small-cap leaders of the future.

Please join us for an educational presentation where we will explore and discuss the following:

  • The changing dynamics of public and private markets
  • Advantages of a middle market private equity strategy
  • Overview the Bow River Capital Evergreen Fund
  • Using an Evergreen Private Equity fund as part of a diversified portfolio
  • Q & A Session

Accepted for 1 CFP/ IWI / CFA CE Credit
