This week, we’re bringing you an episode of <a href="https://www.wsj.com/podcasts/take-on-the-week" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">WSJ’s Take On the Week</a>. Host Telis Demos and guest host Spencer Jakab, investing columnist and writer of the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/newsletters/markets-am" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">Markets A.M. newsletter</a>, are joined by Kaitlin Hendrix, asset allocation research director at Dimensional Fund Advisors, to decode investors’ surging interest in private markets.

They break down how investors may already have exposure in their investment portfolios to private companies like Anthropic, Stripe and Flipkart, through holdings in companies like Alphabet's Google, Amazon and Nvidia. Hendrix explains why your public index fund might already provide the diversification you’re looking for, without the high fees. Plus, Jakab explains the way that big tech’s private company investments are boosting earnings to near-unprecedented levels.
