Private investments have become an increasingly important part of sophisticated portfolios — yet the landscape can be difficult to navigate.

In this educational episode, Heritage Partner and Managing Director of Investments Cary Baronian sits down with Director of Private Investments Jason Barbera to unpack how private markets work. Together, they walk through the major segments of the private investment universe, including private equity, venture capital, private credit, and real assets, and discuss how institutional investors often think about each area.

The conversation explores:

  • How private investments differ from public markets
  • The risk and return dynamics across different private asset classes
  • Why manager selection can play an important role in private markets
  • Where Heritage tends to focus within private equity
  • How experienced allocators evaluate opportunities beyond market headlines

For listeners interested in learning more about private markets and how they are often incorporated into long-term portfolios, this conversation provides a helpful educational overview.
