Antoine Gara

Antoine Gara is a financial journalist who covered private equity, hedge funds, and alternative investments for Forbes and later moved to the Financial Times. His reporting provided detailed coverage of major deals, fund performance, and industry dynamics in alternatives — areas that are often opaque to public scrutiny. Gara broke stories on PE returns, fund fee structures, and the competitive dynamics of major alternative asset managers. His journalism contributed to improved transparency in an industry that traditionally operates away from public view. At the Financial Times his work has expanded to cover the intersection of technology and finance, including the growth of fintech firms challenging traditional asset managers, the rise of retail alternatives platforms, and the transformation of private markets as institutional capital flows into private credit and infrastructure. His reporting bridges the specialized world of alternative asset management and the broader investment public.
