As concentration risk in public equity markets continues to rise and valuations remain elevated, investors will likely need to look outside of public markets to meet investment goals. Private equity offers investors an increasingly attractive alternative solution for growth and diversification. While private equity can be a broad and fragmented landscape, funds focused on the U.S. middle market have seen strong performance, providing investors with direct access to the growth engine of the U.S. economy.

Join FS Investments’ Chief U.S. Economist, Lara Rhame and Chief Market Strategist, Troy A. Gayeski, as they discuss:

  • The economy and alternative ways to navigate markets
  • The rich opportunity set in U.S. middle market private equity
