Article: Forbes // Stop Talking Past Your Investors: How To Build A Communication Purpose From The Ground Up

February 3, 2026

In a Forbes feature, Allvue’s Head of Marketing Michelle Wu examines a defining shift in the private markets: the once-clear line between private and public investing is fading, bringing increased scrutiny to an industry built on limited visibility. As the private markets move toward a projected $30 trillion by 2029, success now depends less on raising capital and more on earning and maintaining investor trust.

“I’ve watched a fundamental shift occur across the financial landscape. The wall separating private and public investing is dissolving, subjecting the previously opaque private market sector to intense public and media scrutiny. For firms operating in this space, the core challenge is no longer just finding capital; it’s sustainably building and maintaining investor trust.”
