Curious as to your thoughts on taking an illiquidity / private company discount for PE valuations?
The argument for it is obvious.
The only argument against it that I have heard is that if you are a control investor (which is what traditional PE is) then owning public shares will also create the same challenges - quickly liquidating / selling the whole controlling interest will be difficult.
