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!
