The world of alternative investments is complex but compelling for middle-market business owners and entrepreneurs to understand. Kimberly Flynn discusses how M&A fits into the world of asset management. She defines alternative investments, explains how they fit into investment portfolios, discusses institutional money management, looks at how private equity and VC firms utilize M&A, considers options for raising capital, and speculates on the future of alternative investments and the potential impact on M&A.
“Alternative investments really expand the potential pool of capital in the U.S. The expansion of the use of alternative investments in asset management is going to drive future growth in M&A.”
