Addressing the growing interest in private investments among retail investors, Schwarz advocates for inclusivity in financial opportunities. He argues that the private equity landscape should not be reserved solely for the wealthy and institutional investors.

The leaders believe that increased participation from retail investors would enhance the overall financial ecosystem, fostering growth and stability.
