Private vs Public Assets: Part One with Antti Ilmanen, AQR Capital Management

In this two-part mini-series, we are joined by two giants of the investment world to argue the merits of opportunities across public listed equity markets and the growing universe of unquoted private assets.


This episode Antti Ilmanen, author and Global Co-Head of the Portfolio Solutions Group at AQR Capital Management, joins us to contend why the outlook for public listed equities is favourable over private assets.


Antti critically assesses the concept of illiquidity premium, noting the risks and rewards associated with private equity, including the impact of leverage and market volatility and touches on broader investment strategies, advocating for diversification and value investing in the current economic climate.


In the second part, we’ll be joined by Hartley Rogers, Executive Co-Chairman at Hamilton Lane, who will extol the benefits of investing across the private market opportunity set.
