Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AlphaCore Wealth Advisory's Dick Pfister - Wealth management with alpha at its core: live from iCapital Connect
Q: How do you balance customization with scale while growing a platform that already offers a broad range of investments?
The approach is to segment clients and build nine scalable models aligned to accreditation levels, with approved funds and a flexible, open-architecture framework. Advisors can choose off-the-shelf models or customize within a governed system, and over time, the better-performing models tend to be adopted broadly, allowing both customization and scale to co-exist.
HarbourVest's John Toomey - over 40 years of "earning investors' trust"
Q: What do you mean by a programmatic approach to private markets and why might a one-stop shop make sense for clients?
The answer discusses three core services we provide to clients—exceptional relationship management, portfolio construction, and comprehensive servicing and reporting—emphasizing that a one-stop, programmatic platform helps tailor solutions to varied investor needs and supports diversification across private markets.
Bloomberg's Brad Foster - driving the convergence between public and private markets
Q: How has your time on the trading floor influenced Bloomberg's approach to private markets today?
It shaped a client-centric, workflow-driven product mindset, emphasizing transparency, efficiency, and practical data tools that align with real trading and risk management needs across both public and private markets.
Brookfield Asset Management's David Nowak - "earn your seat" private equity
Q: What is Brookfield's approach to private equity underwriting and value creation?
Brookfield focuses on understanding businesses better than others, driving operating improvements, and buying for value without overpaying, aiming for a repeatable, long-term growth model that leverages their platform to access expertise across asset classes.
Brookfield Asset Management's David Nowak - "earn your seat" private equity
Q: How does Brookfield maintain its entrepreneurial, open-culture as it scales?
By moving people across strategies and geographies, maintaining an open-office environment, and ensuring leadership operates by example with a culture of collaboration and mutual support that rewards initiative and sharing information.
