## Resource

Vanguard’s Global Chief Economist Joe Davis discusses what advisors and investors need to know about private equity with HarbourVest’s Scott Voss—and how this asset class might fit in a diversified portfolio. All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.
