  • 414: Private markets: myth vs reality
    Jul 2 2026

    Private markets come with a powerful narrative: patient capital, complexity premia,
    and access to parts of the economy public markets can’t reach. But with every
    narrative comes a set of assumptions that don’t always get challenged.

    L&G’s Rebecca Burgess, Private Markets Asset Allocation Investment Specialist and
    Lushan Sun, Head of Cross-Asset Private Markets Research unpack some of the most persistent myths surrounding private markets.

    From illiquidity fears to valuation misconceptions, the team explores what’s true,
    what’s outdated, and what investors may be overlooking.
    This podcast is hosted by Sarka Halas, Content Manager, and was recorded on 15
    June 2026.

    For professional investors only. Capital at risk. Risk management cannot fully
    eliminate the risk of investment loss. It should be noted that diversification is no
    guarantee against a loss in a declining market.
