  • In this two-part mini-series, we are joined by two giants of the investment world to argue the merits of opportunities across public listed equity markets and the growing universe of unquoted private assets.


    This episode Hartley Rogers, Executive Co-Chairman of Hamilton Lane outlines his progression and experience in the industry to date. He explores the opportunities and challenges investing in private assets, focussing on why investors really should be considering an allocation to the private markets.
