## Resource

Private alternatives are becoming a bigger part of high-net-worth portfolios. Is your advisory practice keeping up? Ellis Hammond sits down with Steve Woodruff, Principal and CIO of Venture Financial Advisors, to discuss why investor demand for private alternatives is growing and what RIAs need to know to stay competitive. They cover how to incorporate private markets into client portfolios, evaluate managers, conduct due diligence, and navigate opportunities across private credit, private equity, energy, and more.
