We often say that private equity outperforms the stock market. The idea that the stock market is the best place for your money is one of the biggest lies Wall Street tells Americans. It’s not an evil lie. Private equity deals are hard to find and hard to evaluate. They’re opaque, so you can’t see all the details of the companies, and there’s a lot of risk.
But if you can do it right, private equity will outperform the stock market over time.
Key points
- Private equity tends to outperform the stock market over time.
- Wall Street steers people to public markets partly because private deals are hard to find and evaluate.
