Monthly Alts Pulse: Taking the pulse of private markets with Lawrence Calcano, Chairman & CEO of iCapital

Welcome to the launch of the collaboration between iCapital x Alt Goes Mainstream.

Here’s the first episode of the Monthly Alts Pulse, a live conversation in studio with Lawrence Calcano, Chairman & CEO of iCapital, who as the leader of a platform that is responsible for the majority of individual and advisor-led investment flows into the alts space, has his finger on the pulse of what’s happening in private markets.

Come for education, stay for Succession.

On this episode, we covered a lot of ground. Lawrence and I discussed:
  • Making sense of the current market environment.
  • What advisors are saying about private markets and how they are investing in private markets right now.
  • How the interest and knowledge of private markets have evolved over the past 10 years since iCapital started.
  • The value of patience in private markets.
  • Liquidity vs illiquidity.
  • The arc of innovation in private markets.
  • Why now is the time for private credit and secondaries.
  • How technology will automate access for institutions and HNW investors.
  • Lessons from Succession and the Wall Street Journal test.
Thanks Lawrence for a great first episode … looking forward to next month’s conversation!
