Quotes

[11:15] - "At large, our economy is becoming privately held. To diversify these investments, we have to access them in private markets." ~ Steve Zuschin

[16:44] - "We really want to remove that burden from the operations team and create a better experience for the field of advisors to learn about new deals that are available to them, that their compliance team and due diligence have gone through, as well as a standardized transaction process for them to go through on behalf of the clients." ~ Steve Zuschin

[20:42] - "If you don't have a team in place that's looking at the innovations around private markets, try and get someone, whether it's a consultant or somebody else who's out there looking at the markets. Because whether you're curious or interested in making these deals for your clients, if you're working with high-net-worth clients, they're going to make these deals with or without you." ~ Steve Zuschin
