Demystifying Private Markets – Podcast Series by ViewTrade x Monark Markets
ViewTrade and Monark Markets have formed a strategic distribution partnership to reshape access to private market investments.

Launching in Q2 2025, the solution targets the $16 trillion private markets and the rapidly growing $4 trillion pre-IPO segment. By simplifying allocation, due diligence, SPV structuring, and account integration, the partnership aims to democratize access to alternative assets and make investing in private markets seamless and inclusive.
