Going Public with Evercore's Glenn Schorr - Ep. 2
On the latest episode of Going Public, we drop the beat on F.R.E.A.M.
Paying homage to Wu-Tang Clan’s song “C.R.E.A.M.” (“Cash rules everything around me”), Glenn discusses why “Fees rule everything around me” in asset management.
We cover some of last quarter's most pressing topics in alternative asset management, including:
- How alternative asset managers balance fee generation with returns.
- Does major growth still lie ahead for alternative asset managers?
- Why “fees rule everything around me,” but so does alpha generation.
- Why does distribution (almost always) win in asset management?
- What’s the most valuable aspect of a publicly traded alts manager having a public currency?
- What is Glenn keeping his eye on for next quarter?
Making private markets more public — with expert analysis
Alt Goes Mainstream has partnered with an expert who has seen the evolution of alternative asset managers from their early days.
Glenn Schorr is a Senior MD and Senior Research Analyst at Evercore ISI, where he covers brokers, banks, asset managers, and trust banks as an analyst.
He has covered financials since 2000 and started coverage of alternative asset managers when the first firms went public.
He’s consistently come up as one of the most thoughtful and well-respected analysts in the space. He balances deep research with a creative flair (just read one of the titles of his research reports and you can see his love of the game). He’s been named to Institutional Investor’s All-America Research Team for his coverage, most recently ranking #2 and runner up in 2023, #1 and #2 in 2022. Prior to Evercore, Glenn was a Senior MD at Nomura, serving as the lead financials analyst.
Listen in as Glenn shares market stories, the evolution of alternative asset managers as businesses, the biggest and most exciting trends in private markets based on what the industry’s largest players are doing, and we go “around the horn” for his analysis on the publicly traded firms.
