Funds Partners James Board and Rajib Chanda were quoted in a Private Equity International article titled, “What Private Wealth Investors Need,” which discussed the growth of new fund structures targeting wealthy individuals. When discussing how wealthy individuals may have limited experience with private markets in Europe, James noted, “This is why investor education is important, because private equity by its very nature is not a short-term investment. It’s a medium- to long-term investment.
