I'm Luke Vargas for The Wall Street Journal, and this is What's News Sunday,
the show where we tackle the big questions about the biggest stories in the news.
High risk.
High reward.
That is the promise of access to private markets.
SpaceX set off a massive IPO wave earlier this summer and OpenAI
and Anthropic are gearing up to go public later this year,
but they've built up a lot of market value while still being privately held.
New marketplaces have made it easier for everyday investors to grab shares of private companies
and big asset managers are getting into the game too.
But what if you've already got exposure and you just don't know it?
This week, we're serving up an episode of WSJ's Take on the Week as host Telestemos
dives into the $150 billion private markets bet that's inside America's biggest companies
and whether that might offer the diversification you're looking for.
And if you like what you hear, listen and subscribe to WSJ's Take on the Week wherever you get your podcasts.
