‘The circulatory system isn’t working.’ Goldman on what’s really wrong with private markets
Goldman Sachs acknowledges significant issues within private markets, describing the system as "not working" due to extended holding periods and reduced investor distributions.

Goldman points to investor misunderstanding as a cause for liquidity crunches in private credit vehicles, contrasting with data from Fitch Ratings and Proskauer that indicate rising default rates.
