Events for Wednesday, April 2 - Wednesday, January 22

The secondary market began in the 1980s as a method to provide liquidity to investors in illiquid private equity, and other pools of alternative assets. Secondary funds build exposure to illiquid portfolios by acquiring existing positions in single funds or a portfolio of funds from limited partners (“LPs”) seeking early liquidity often at a discount to recent valuations. Investors use these funds to rapidly build up exposure to diversified, seasoned positions in private equity, and other alternatives while, potentially, with shorter duration and lower correlation to investors’ existing portfolios.

If there is one fatal flaw that every investor needs to overcome, it's a poor mindset.  No matter how good their analysis or their framework, mistakes like chasing losses or trading based on ego threaten to wreck the results of even the smartest investor. So how can traders and investors limit their mistakes -- and perhaps take advantage of the psychological errors of others?
