Many believe private equity is solely for institutions, but in this episode we explain how `private pension` funds and other common `investments` are deeply connected to this world. We examine how everyday `retirement planning` and `etf investing` expose regular individuals to private equity through various `money management` strategies, often without their awareness. This breakdown provides essential insights into the broader financial landscape.

This isn’t about predicting a crash — it’s about understanding hidden leverage, rising debt risk, and indirect exposure already sitting inside diversified portfolios.

Covered in this episode:

• Private equity leverage and systemic risk

• Hidden PE exposure in ETFs and pensions

• Impact on public stocks and credit markets

• Rising interest rates and refinancing risk

• What long-term investors should watch next
