We covered:\nWhat iCapital is seeing in the market now.\nHow the evolution of wealth management is coinciding with the growth of alts.\nHow the rise of the “super RIA / aggregator” can help accelerate the adoption of alts.\nHow improving equity markets could shorten fundraising cycles for funds.\nHow the needs of the wealth manager has evolved as wealth management platforms have evolved.\nWhy the need for high-quality — and uniform — infrastructure and end-to-end automation is so critical to enable wealth advisors to properly participate in private markets.\nHow iCapital is endeavoring to build the operating system for private markets through automation.\nWhere infrastructure innovation in private markets goes from here. \nHow and why alts will become a core part of an investors’ portfolio.\nHow the evolution of various market structures — equities, fixed income, and products like ETFs and mutual funds — provides lessons learned for the evolution of alts market structure.\nThanks Lawrence for a great episode … looking forward to next month’s conversation! ","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}
