I’m very familiar with the market. This is all sorts of not accurate. You can see my reply to the other person for sources. Private equity when adjusted for leverage and size doesn’t really outperform. You also are illiquid and have cash on the sideline while invested. Basic 70/30 portfolios have outperformed Ivy League endowments.

PE firms rarely buy with the intent of keeping it. They are not in it for the steady cash flow. They improve the structure and efficiencies, and sell it for a profit. Often times they do this by... taking it public! These are the words of someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about, but heard some scary words and likes repeating them.

Only crappy investments? FANG stocks are up 700% since 2013. Thanks for trying though.
