Even a Global Crisis Can't Keep These Companies from Growing

You don't need to be an expert - or a trader - to see that publicly traded companies are being pummeled right now.

That's one reason right now could be a better time than ever to consider adding private equity to your portfolio of assets.

While private companies aren't completely immune to the impacts of the virus, many of them are built to survive a crisis.

All startups share a certain set of qualities that make them better-equipped to weather this storm than many publicly traded goliaths. During uncertain times, a tiny business just starting out has an upper hand because it's better prepared for loss and hardship than the bigger, more established companies. And it also doesn't have a lot on the line (yet) to lose.

So if you've been thinking about getting into startups for a while and didn't know how or when to get in, this could be the perfect chance to set yourself up for a lifetime of wealth.
