Two of the five alternative investment types that I am going to combine are similar but of course different.... Private Equity and Venture Capital. The truth is it's all private equity... just riskier... Private equity in it's purest form invests capital into an entity that is not publicly listed or traded. Venture capital focuses on promising ideas/companies that have significant growth potential. People will fight me and say they are different, but when you look under the hood the only difference is capital contributed and the percentages negotiated. The key when analyzing firms that use blind pools of capital is that you believe in the sector they are reaching for, because if they are scattered across different sectors, there is a good chance they are scattered behind the scenes. Unless they have clear heads of sectors of course, but then that usually means they are in separate funds.

With just over a month left in the year, the total PE-VC investments are unlikely to reach the $32.8 billion mark set in 2023, standing at $25.6 billion as of October. Several factors, including a decline in mega deals exceeding $100 million and global geopolitical issues, have contributed to this downturn. https://lnkd.in/gjxxsr5p
