Are you ready to uncover the secrets of an investment world that’s larger than many countries?
In this episode of Unconventional Times, Richard Gordon sits down with Erik Hirsch, the co-CEO of Hamilton Lane, to explore the dynamic landscape of private markets that most casual investors don’t even know exists.

Key highlights from this enlightening episode include:
- The contrast between private and public markets, and why private markets allow for greater diversification and often superior returns.
