About this episode
The episode discusses the evolving private equity landscape and the implications of recent market conditions on liquidity and diversification.
In this episode of Market Pulse by Faster Forward, host Grant Johnsey is joined by Adam Freda, Managing Director at 50 South Capital, for an in-depth conversation on the evolving private equity landscape.
