Two weeks ago, the ride-sharing company Lyft had its IPO – raising more than $2 billion with a $20+ billion market cap. Since then, Lyft’s stock price has declined by 16% while the overall market has risen.

Rather, investment alpha is being generated and captured in the private markets, and those investors who fail to realize that the game has changed are suffering poor portfolio returns as a result.

In this newsletter, we dissect trends in the overall marketplace and the specifics of the Lyft transaction. We focus on who gets paid and the implications for individual investors and their investment portfolios.
