Welcome to the Freedom Point Podcast! In this episode, Jeremy talks with Tony Davidow, Senior Alternatives Strategist at Franklin Templeton, about how investors can unlock the potential of private markets through education, diversification, and long-term strategy. Tony breaks down the difference between public and private investing, the evolution of access to alternative assets, and how advisors are adapting to a new era of opportunity. They explore why illiquidity can be an advantage, how institutions and family offices allocate differently, and the growing role of education in bridging the gap for everyday investors. Tony also shares insights from his book Private Markets: Building Better Portfolios with Private Equity, Private Credit, and Private Real Estate—a must-read guide for anyone looking to invest smarter, not just bigger.
