2:10 PM Fireside Chat: Direct access: How can private wealth investors access private companies directly to unlock new liquidity opportunities?

Private markets access has traditionally been intermediated through large sponsors, but new models are emerging that could open a more direct route between private wealth capital and private companies. At the same time, many businesses are not seeking control capital, but need better secondary liquidity options for founders, employees and existing shareholders.

This session will explore how private securities markets such as Pisces are creating new pathways for structured secondary transactions, and whether these models can scale beyond early proof points. Examine how private wealth and family office capital can access these opportunities more directly, how this compares to the traditional sponsor-led model and what role improved disclosure and market structure will play. Understand where the most compelling opportunities sit today and how you can participate in a way that broadens exposure without relying solely on large-cap private equity.
