Brett Hickey of Star Mountain Speaking at the Institutional Investor Public Funds Roundtable in Los Angeles, CA

April 26, 2017

Brett will be participating on the Private Parts for Public Funds panel at 1:45pm on Wednesday, April 26th.

As lower returns creep into private markets, fees remain stubbornly high, forcing public funds to reevaluate. How would a market correction or recession impact investments made now, amid high valuations and low interest rates? Is the cost of private equity worth increased scrutiny from the SEC and inflexible GPs? What upside hasn’t been arbitraged away in direct lending – and does the market disappear if Trump follows through with a Dodd-Frank repeal?
