The Case for Venture Investing in 2022 with Green D
Investing in VC has long been a best practice of institutional investors and high net-worth individuals. We think that accredited individuals should also consider adding this asset class to their portfolio to take advantage of its diversity and return characteristics.
Join the Green D Ventures team for a live, 45-minute presentation digging into the fund, team, and venture investing. Green D Ventures is Alumni Ventures’ fund for Dartmouth alumni and friends of the community. During the session, they will discuss:
- HomeWhy VC is not correlated to Public Markets
- HomeDeeper explanation of VC returns versus other asset classes
- HomeWhy now is a compelling time to add VC to your portfolio
Note: You must be accredited to invest in venture capital. Important disclosure information can be found at av-funds.com/disclosures.
