Time to study broadening of private market access

Data from Forbes this month showed that the world’s billionaires are worth a record-breaking US$14.2 trillion – up US$2 trillion from the 2023 stocktake, and US$1.1 trillion above the previous record set in 2021.
The Financial Times went a step further to compare the increase in wealth with Forbes’ “cost of living extremely well” index.
