Rowe Price, where he worked with individual investors. He rose up the ranks of T. Rowe Price and then joined Blackstone as a Principal in the firm’s Private Wealth Solutions business before moving to Franklin Templeton as Head of Private Markets - Americas Wealth Management.\nUnpacking nuances in private markets, Dave discussed why he believes a “family of specialists” with a “narrow scope” is critical for a private markets investment platform and how a traditional asset manager can approach building brand in private markets. We had a fascinating discussion, covering:\nHow Dave’s background starting his career working with individual investors has informed how he approaches creating solutions for the wealth channel.\nWhy LPs want to do more with fewer partners and what this means for GPs.\nSpecialists vs. generalists.\nWhy RIAs have “cold call fatigue.”\nWhat RIAs want from a product perspective and why differentiation, trust, and proactive client service are top of the list.\nHow asset managers can approach brand-building.\nThe product innovation roadmap and what the path to 401(k) and DC products might look like.\nThanks, Dave, for sharing a fascinating window into the wealth channel and for your passion, expertise, and dedication to providing private markets solutions to the wealth channel.\nShow Notes\n00:04 Live from Franklin Templeton RIA Field Trip\n00:07 Meet Dave...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/AFAZ1vkAT92lFJtqt-r0HeFQ55KTdcbJHmgKXaMlAtY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE5MDA4LzE2MTQ1/Mzk1MDUtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
