Summary

They define private securities as investments in alternative assets, not traditional publicly registered securities.

The conversation highlights the benefits of private securities, such as the ability for small businesses to raise capital and the potential for investors to support mission-driven projects. They also emphasize the crucial role of financial education in empowering investors to make decisions about private investments and how this supports the democratization of capital. Roland and Sarah discuss the differences between public and private securities in this conversation.
