摘要:
 
Historically a key advantage of being a public firm was broader access to
 
capital, from a disperse group of shareholders. In recent years, such capital
 
has increasingly become available to private firms as well. We document a
 
dramatic increase over the past twenty years in the number of mutual funds
 
participating in private markets and in the dollar value of these private firm
 
investments. Consistent with the greater availability of capital changing the
 
trade-off between private and public listing status, we find that mutual fund
 
investments enable companies to stay private an average one to two years longer.
 
Mutual funds’ returns on these investments appear to be both economically
 
meaningful and beneficial as a source of diversification, relative to
 
investments in publicly traded firms.
