Private Placements 101: What They Are and Who They’re For
A private placement is an investment sold outside the public markets, typically limited to accredited investors and less regulated and transparent than a public stock or fund. What makes them different is illiquidity, higher fees, less transparency, and concentration risk. Before saying yes to any deal, know how the person offering it is compensated, what the fees are, how it fits your overall portfolio, and what happens in a worst-case scenario.
