Private Investments Come of Age - Opportunity and Balance Unlocked

Private markets aren’t just the playground of institutions and the ultra-wealthy anymore. In this episode, we dig into how access to private credit, equity, and real assets is opening up—and why that shift is changing the way Canadian advisors build portfolios. Raphaëlle Gauthier-Grenier, Senior Director, Investment Solutions – Private Investments at National Bank Investments, and Ross Neilson, Principal at Apollo Global Management, join us for a candid look at the surge of private investing in Canada. Together, we unpack what’s driving the momentum, how new fund structures are breaking down barriers, and where private markets really belong in a modern portfolio.
