Private assets: How the rich get richer

‘There is no reason wealth should be concentrated in the hands of a few,’ says Jatin Ondhia, CEO and co-founder of investment platform Shojin Property Partners. That’s why he set up the business, which provides access to UK real estate development through fractional investing.

The democratisation of private markets has been widely discussed, with many large firms starting to target individual investors. However, this comes with its challenges as well as concerns that it may lead to future mis-selling.

Ondhia and Remy Astie, CEO and co-founder of investment platform Vauban discuss why they think it is important to open up the private markets to more investors, how they are trying to solve the problem of access and the tough spot regulators are in.
