Navigating the Shift to Private Markets

Transitioning from public equity to private markets presents unique opportunities, particularly amid the ongoing wealth transfer from baby boomers. Investors like Chris Weldon focus on acquiring small to mid-sized businesses, recognizing that many established companies may soon be available for sale as their owners retire. Unlike public markets, where information is plentiful, private investing requires more direct engagement, with potential buyers often having to do extensive research and outreach. This landscape is characterized by a growing number of buyers-including search funds and high-net-worth individuals-making it an intriguing yet challenging space for investors.
