Learn about the private equity (PE) world with expert insights on market trends, risks and impact opportunities. Join Anna Levin of The Beam Network and our expert guest speaker Jennifer Ayer, from leading wealth management firm Alvarium Tiedemann  (ALTI), to explore the investment potential and risks in this long-term investment class. The majority of ultra-high-net-worth investors are engaged in private equity investing in some form. However, it is a high-risk asset class that requires careful consideration of all the risks before investing. Jennifer will share her insights on the significant innovation and change happening in the private equity industry due to investors increasingly seeking to align their investments with their values and social or environmental objectives.
