Corporate Partner Clare Gaskell was quoted in a Private Equity International article titled, “The changing relationship between wealth and private equity,” stemming from her participation at PEI’s Women in Private Markets Summit in December. The article explored how private equity is continuing to increase access for wealthy individuals. Clare explained that, although many industry players see greater access as part of a natural progression, this could also lead to increased regulatory concerns. She said, “The risk is that the more that retail investors, or less sophisticated investors, are targeted and able to invest…you end up almost with a convergence between the public and private markets,” and added how “the less experienced people are, the harder it will be for them to assess risk.”
