Kroll's ALTLOOK podcast focuses on key valuation, regulatory, compliance and other nuances of alternative asset investing from various perspectives, including those of fund managers, general partners, investors, limited partners, regulators and other interested parties. The alternative asset industry, which has grown exponentially over the past two decades, includes private equity, buyout, venture capital, infrastructure, private credit, hedge funds, and other types of investment vehicles. Each month, Kroll experts and our guests will focus on key developments and learning points specifically applicable to alternative asset investing. Kroll’s perspective in the alternative asset space is based on working with hundreds of fund managers and institutional investors over almost three decades while valuing tens of thousands of private investments.
