Together, they set the stage for why private markets, once reserved for institutions and ultra-wealthy investors, are rapidly moving into the mainstream — and what that shift means for everyday portfolios.\nPaige is then joined by Mario Giannini, Executive Co-Chairman of Hamilton Lane, a private markets powerhouse overseeing nearly $1 trillion in assets. Drawing on decades of experience, Giannini explains why public companies are disappearing, why private capital now dominates everything from AI implementation to infrastructure, and how investors should think about illiquidity not as a flaw, but as a feature.\nThe conversation tackles some of the most pressing questions investors have about alternatives: how much of a portfolio should be allocated to private assets, why private credit has quietly outperformed for years, what risks are misunderstood, and why evergreen structures are reshaping access for high-net-worth and retail investors alike. Giannini also weighs in on AI valuations, secondaries, infrastructure, Canada’s investment outlook, and why future growth in private markets may be driven by individuals rather than institutions.\nThis is the first episode in a three-part deep dive into alternatives — a reset on how capital is allocated in a world where the most valuable companies may never go public.\n\nTimestamps\n00:00 Questrade’s new tools for investors.
