Investing in PE, HF, VC

Hey everyone - I'm an MBA student and I'm doing some research on the overlap between people who trade stocks and those that invest in alternative assets (mostly venture capital, private equity, and hedge funds). Curious to hear your perspective on investing in these assets. Including a survey link here in case you want to be anonymous, but would love to see what you all think.
