In this episode, host Keith Newman welcomes Carine Schneider, founding partner at Compass Strategic Advisors and longtime advocate for broader access to private markets.

Carine shares her journey from PwC to leading cap table companies and advising global firms, and why she believes the time is right to rethink private market access. She discusses the updates to her book The Democratization of Private Markets, highlighting:-

  • Why she felt compelled to rewrite it just a few years after the first edition.
  • How the UK’s new PISCES framework could inspire U.S. market reform.
  • Recent U.S. policy changes, including executive orders allowing 401Ks to invest in private assets.
  • The ongoing debate: Should private markets remain restricted to professionals, or should everyday investors have access?


Along the way, Carine also opens up about her personal milestones, including an upcoming family trip to Hawaii, reminding us that behind market shifts are human stories.

Whether you’re an investor, policymaker, or simply curious about the future of private capital, this conversation offers a timely look at where the industry is heading.
