On this episode, Lawrence and I had a fascinating and lively discussion. We covered:

  • Has private markets moved from access as table stakes to customization and differentiation?

  • What are the different phases of private markets — and how has iCapital built solutions for each?

  • Is data the oil for private markets?

  • How will model portfolios fit into the wealth channel’s adoption of private markets?

  • If advisors now have access to private markets, how do they differentiate?

  • How does the trend of OCIOs being acquired by wealth managers factor into the continued evolution of wealth channel adoption of private markets?

  • The nuances of diligence on fund managers.

  • Why do private markets “start and stop at the advisor’s desktop?”

  • What's the interplay between brand, access, and customization?

Thanks Lawrence for a great episode … looking forward to next month’s conversation!
