The\u00a0Security and Exchange Commission\u2019s\u00a0(SEC)\u00a0March 4, 2026, roundtable on private market valuations and\u00a0retailization\u00a0generated plenty of industry coverage. Most of it focused on the\u00a0high level: governance frameworks, defining accredited investors, valuation\u00a0consistency. Four structural tensions deserve a closer look, because\u00a0they\u2019ll\u00a0determine\u00a0whether\u00a0retailization\u00a0succeeds.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The SEC convened\u00a0a\u00a0<\/span>roundtable on private market valuations and\u00a0retailization\u00a0on March 4, 2026<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in Washington, D.C. Regulators, fund managers, and valuation experts sat across from each other in Washington, D.C., to speak about governance frameworks, liquidity constructs, and the mechanics of fair value pricing as direct and indirect retail pathways to private markets\u00a0open up.\u00a0Chairman\u00a0Paul Atkins called this shift “reasonable\u00a0retailization”: the idea that risk alone\u00a0shouldn’t\u00a0exclude everyday investors from a $31 trillion asset class that has historically been gated behind accredited investor thresholds.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0industry\u00a0recaps that followed have done\u00a0a good job\u00a0of summarizing the high-level takeaways, but\u00a0they\u2019ve\u00a0barely skimmed the surface of the deeper conversations happening in the margins. These are the conversations with direct implications for how fund managers, fund administrators and family offices should\u00a0operate\u00a0as retail investors explore\u00a0<\/span>private markets<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From our perspective advising firms on SEC compliance, these are the four takeaways that matter most.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#1: Advisors are the real guardrail for retail investors<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Beneath the expected discussion about prospectus disclosures and liquidity terms, panelists made something explicit that tends to get glossed over: in a\u00a0retailized\u00a0<\/span>private markets environment<\/span><\/a>, the broker or registered investment advisor is the client\u2019s primary line of defense.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This was called the “intermediation” of\u00a0retailization, where brokers and wealth advisors are increasingly\u00a0relied\u00a0upon to fulfill their fiduciary duties. \u201cInappropriate selling\u201d was\u00a0specifically flagged as a regulatory focus area, signaling that the SEC already knows unsuitable sales are occurring and expects distribution channel oversight to be part of how managers address the problem.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The operational implications are significant. A\u00a0<\/span>fund manager<\/span><\/a>\u00a0launching a retail-facing interval fund or tender offer fund must focus on both marketing and risk management by vetting distribution partners, training advisors on product mechanics and liquidity terms, and closely\u00a0monitoring\u00a0sales practices. As private markets expand into the wealth channel, we expect the SEC to scrutinize distribution practices with the same intensity it has historically applied to product-level disclosures.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Key\u00a0takeaway: If a wealth advisor recommends a semi-liquid\u00a0<\/span><\/b>private credit fund<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0to a client who needs liquidity in 18 months, no SEC rule will catch that in time. But the advisor should.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#2: The secondary market NAV problem is real<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Secondary-market\u00a0<\/span>net asset value (NAV) transactions<\/span><\/a>\u00a0often look like this: a fund\u00a0purchases\u00a0a private asset on the secondary market at 80 cents on the dollar, a discount that reflects uncertainty about the underlying asset position. Under current\u00a0<\/span>ASC 820 accounting<\/span><\/a>, that asset can be\u00a0immediately\u00a0marked up to full NAV at the time of purchase.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In an open-ended vehicle with active subscriptions, the implications are uncomfortable. The fund books an instant paper gain and new investors subscribe\u00a0at\u00a0a NAV including that markup. Existing investors\u00a0benefit\u00a0from the artificial lift, while new investors may be\u00a0<\/span>onboarding<\/span><\/a>\u00a0into an overstated NAV.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the roundtable, the panelists suggested a fix: rather than recognizing the full discount recovery\u00a0immediately, amortize it gradually over a defined period. This aligns reported NAV more closely with the underlying economics and reduces the distortion effect on subscriptions and redemptions. For now, though,\u00a0what\u2019s\u00a0missing is any formal requirement to do it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For fund administrators calculating NAV on vehicles that hold secondary positions, this is a live operational question. Our takeaway: document your approach now,\u00a0<\/span>before<\/span><\/b>\u00a0it becomes the subject of an SEC examination.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Key\u00a0takeaway: Buying at a discount and marking to par is a NAV management tool, not a valuation method. Gradual amortization over a defined period will help smooth NAV impacts.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#3:\u00a0 Charging carry on unrealized gains has entered private equity<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Private equity managers have spent forty years building fee structures around a simple premise: carry is earned when you exit at a profit. The institutional LP model (negotiated side letters, co-investment rights,\u00a0carry\u00a0crystallized only on realized returns) was designed for patient capital with\u00a0long time\u00a0horizons. It worked because both sides understood the game.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But the March 2026 SEC roundtable surfaced an emerging model: some\u00a0<\/span>evergreen private equity vehicles<\/span><\/a>\u00a0are now charging carried interest quarterly or annually on unrealized gains, modeled explicitly after hedge fund incentive fee structures. While traditional\u00a0private equity (PE)\u00a0carry is earned when an asset is sold, these structures charge carry on paper gains\u00a0\u2013\u00a0positions that\u00a0haven’t\u00a0been exited, in portfolios that are harder to value precisely. A manager can collect carry on an asset marked up 20% internally, even if that markup is never\u00a0validated\u00a0by an actual transaction.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Layered on top of this is the 15C governance framework, which requires\u00a0\u201840 Act fund boards to conduct annual fee reviews, benchmark against peer vehicles and push back on outlier compensation. Managers accustomed to LP-negotiated fee arrangements are entering\u00a0a very different\u00a0accountability structure marked by board oversight, public\u00a0disclosure\u00a0and peer benchmarking.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What does it all boil\u00a0down to\u00a0for private funds? Administrative details like fee calculation logic, expense allocation between vehicle types, and board reporting on fee methodologies should all be consistent, documented, and defensible under heightened scrutiny.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Key\u00a0takeaway:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Retail investors<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0will eventually ask why\u00a0they’re\u00a0paying hedge fund-style fees on illiquid positions with no reliable mark-to-market. Funds should have a clear answer ready before that question becomes a regulatory inquiry.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#4: Democratizing access\u00a0isn’t\u00a0the same as democratizing returns<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Some of the questions panelists discussed were deceptively simple.\u00a0For instance: how do you answer a retail investor who\u2019s asking whether an investment is\u00a0actually \u201cgood\u201d?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Panelists\u00a0identified\u00a0manager skill as the primary driver of private asset returns, with access to top-quartile managers as the critical variable. The research on this is consistent: performance dispersion in private equity and\u00a0<\/span>private credit<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is dramatically\u00a0wider than in public markets. The gap between a top-quartile PE fund and a median PE fund has historically been 10 to 15 percentage points of net\u00a0internal rate of\u00a0return\u00a0(IRR). In public equities, picking the wrong large-cap fund costs you\u00a0maybe 200\u00a0basis points. In private markets, manager selection\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span><\/b>\u00a0the\u00a0investment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The underlying structural problem then becomes clear: retail access vehicles being built right now are not\u00a0<\/span>democratizing access<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to the best managers. Blackstone, Apollo, Ares, and other names with the distribution infrastructure and\u00a0<\/span>regulatory appetite<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to build retail-facing products are well-known\u00a0quantities. But the broader market of interval funds, tender\u00a0offer\u00a0vehicles and non-traded\u00a0real estate investment\u00a0trusts\u00a0(REITs)\u00a0includes a wide range of managers with highly variable track records. A diversified retail interval fund might hold positions from 20 or 30 underlying managers with varying levels of skill. While the\u00a0<\/span>\u201840 Act\u00a0<\/span><\/a>wrapper provides regulatory legitimacy, it\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0solve the\u00a0problem\u00a0manager\u00a0selection.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Key\u00a0takeaway: Access to private markets for retail investors is\u00a0not the same as\u00a0access to the returns that made institutional investors want private markets in the first place. For fund managers, this shapes how retail products should be positioned. For family office managers, it clarifies why the institutional access model\u00a0remains\u00a0a genuine structural advantage.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What fund managers should be doing next\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The March 2026 private markets roundtable was a clear signal: the SEC is moving deliberately toward broader retail access to private markets, and the firms that come out on top will be those that build proactive operational and\u00a0<\/span>compliance infrastructure<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to fit.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve\u00a0identified\u00a0five areas that deserve immediate attention:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Audit your distribution\u00a0partner\u00a0risk:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Know which advisors are selling your retail-facing products, to what client profiles and with what disclosures. Distribution channel oversight is becoming a compliance function<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Document your secondary purchase accounting policy:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0If your fund holds secondary positions, your approach to the practical expedient and NAV amortization should be put down in writing before an SEC examiner asks<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Reconcile fee structures and board reporting across vehicle types:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>If you run both institutional and \u201840 Act vehicles, ensure fee\u00a0disclosure\u00a0and expense allocation logic is consistent, documented, and defensible under 15C scrutiny.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Review valuation frequency for retail-facing vehicles:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Quarterly is becoming\u00a0a baseline\u00a0expectation. If your operational infrastructure supports institutional quarterly cycles but not retail reporting cadences, now is the time to close that gap<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Build governance around AI and automated pricing tools:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0AI-assisted valuation is arriving fast. Your governance framework should explicitly address how\u00a0<\/span>algorithmic inputs<\/span><\/a>\u00a0are vetted and documented, including controls around material non-public information<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Key questions emerging from the roundtable<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Who is ultimately responsible for protecting retail investors as private markets open up?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Advisors and brokers. The SEC made clear that\u00a0distribution\u00a0oversight and suitability checks, not disclosure alone, are the primary guardrails against inappropriate sales.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Why are secondary-market NAV marks becoming a regulatory concern?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Assets bought at a discount can be marked immediately to par under current rules, creating artificial NAV gains. Regulators signaled that documented, gradual amortization may better reflect economic reality.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Are private equity managers now charging\u00a0carry\u00a0on unrealized gains?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Yes. Some evergreen vehicles are adopting hedge fund-style incentive fees on paper gains, increasing the need for defensible valuation methods and board-level fee scrutiny.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Does broader retail access mean broader access to top private market returns?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

    Not necessarily. Performance dispersion in private markets\u00a0remains\u00a0wide, and access vehicles\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0automatically deliver exposure to top-quartile managers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
