5. IN ORDER FOR ALIBABA’S IPO
INVESTORS TO REALIZE THE SAME
RETURN AS INTEL’S IPO INVESTORS,
ALIBABA WILL NEED TO BE TRADING
AT A $480 TRILLION MARKET
CAPITALIZATION – 6 TIMES MORE
THAN THE GDP OF EVERY COUNTRY
ON THE PLANET COMBINED!
The Most Sought-After Growth Companies are staying private longer -
flourishing in the hands of VC firms instead of appreciating in the retirement
portfolios of ordinary Americans

6. • Small businesses can no longer
rely on banks for loans
• With interest rates at historic
lows, investors can’t afford to be
weighted in traditional fixed-
income assets
The credit markets are as flawed and unjust as our equity
markets

7. Even peer-2-peer is no longer
“peer”-2-peer. Institutional
investors have now monopolized
P2P.

America”

9. The Crowd-Centric Alternative Landscape is Proliferating

10.  Financial Advisors are increasing their clients’ retail alternative
holdings
 According to McKinsey, retail alternative products are about to
account for almost 50% of total retail revenues.
 Goldman Sachs believes that retail alternatives are in the early
stages of a 5-10 year growth trend – reminiscent of early-stage
ETF growth – and capable of becoming a $2T AUM
opportunity
 Both private and public investment products are emerging to satiate
retail’s appetite for alternative products. With Reg A+ now live, even
more crowd-centric alternative products are expected to emerge
 A growing number of Next-gen Broker Dealers are emerging to help
retail investors access crowd-centric alternative products
 Investment into FinTech is projected to nearly triple in the next 3
years
