How to invest in PE with $10k?

Hi all—I’m a college senior with a decently sized investment portfolio but have been trying to get some PE exposure. Have around $10-15k that I could devote to a single fund (ideally lower-MM). However, am aware that most <$1bn funds won’t even take LP commitments below $5-10m. Is there any way for me to get exposure to the PE asset class with my small amount of money—maybe in a friends & family type vehicle?

 

Do you have any friends or family? If not your and you want pure privates, best bet is probably to try and get a job at a small fund somewhere. 
 

If you’re willing to be a little more flexible there are:

BDCs, stocks like BX / Apollo / KKR, BlueOwl (Dyal & Owl Rock), REITs, Mortgage REITs - all might offer different variants of the exposure you are looking for
