“For too long, access to private markets has been limited to institutions, leaving many retirement savers behind as capital markets have evolved. Great Gray’s mission is to drive innovation in the U.S. retirement market, and for us to be true to that mission, we needed to create something that allows Americans to capitalize on private markets growth,”
