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!
