Why private markets have stayed off-limits

According to McKinsey's 2026 Global Private Markets Report, global private markets AUM exceeds $15 trillion. The vast majority of that capital sits behind structural barriers, accessible only to institutions and a small share of qualified investors. Portera addresses each barrier.

High barriers to entry

Minimum investments of $250K to $1M+ are typical. Only ultra-high-net-worth individuals and institutions tend to participate, leaving most qualified global investors without access.

Severe illiquidity

Capital locked up for 7 to 10 years with limited exit options. Secondary market transfers take 60 to 90 days and carry substantial costs.

Opacity and inefficiency

Ownership records, capital calls, and quarterly reports are paper-based and slow. Fund managers spend roughly 30 to 40% of their time on administrative tasks.

Fragmented global access

Cross-border investment in private markets is manual and slow. Geographic barriers limit qualified global investors from participating in U.S. private opportunities.

How Portera works

Portera is a two-sided marketplace. Issuers tokenize private equity or pre-IPO equity and list it on the platform. Qualified global investors discover, subscribe, and trade those tokens on compliant, on-chain infrastructure.
