#IPO timelines have nearly doubled — 8 yrs (mid-90s) to 14 yrs (2024). Median IPO revenue: $16M → $200M+. Growth once captured by public investors now happens privately — and #indexproviders are racing to build the benchmarks to track it. tinyurl.com/mr2cy2jx

#PrivateMarkets are heading toward $20T by 2030 — but most #investors can't access them. IIA's CEO is ft. in @barronsadvisor discussing why access needs to come with transparency: tinyurl.com/mr2cy2jx

Companies now stay private ~14 yrs before IPO — nearly double the wait from the 90s. Most investors miss the growth entirely, locked out by accredited-investor rules. IIA's CEO is ft. in @barronsadvisor on using transparency to level the playing field: bit.ly/457CxUz

Happy #NationalSavingsMonth! Budgeting doesn't have to be complicated — try the 50/30/20 rule: 50% needs, 30% wants, 20%+ savings. Small steps add up to real security. The #indexindustry helps set the market standards that help savers invest with confidence. #FinancialWellness

July is National Savings Month! Tip #2: Tackle debt first. Every $ spent on interest is a $ you can't save or invest. Pay down high-interest balances, consolidate where you can, and redirect that cash flow into #savings & #investing. Cut what costs you, grow what builds you.

July is National Savings Month! Tip #1: Automate your savings. Set up transfers to hit your savings account the day you get paid — "pay yourself first" before you have a chance to spend it. We support savers through transparency & investor education. #SmartSaving #Indexing
