  • That’s fascinating

    Listening since first show, but reluctantly signed off some time ago. Guest quality usually very high. Host’s interviewing skills, style, and adaptivity alas, remain wooden. To deem everything ‘fascinating’ is beyond a tic.

  • Barry’s pod is the best!

    I first heard Barry Ritholtz as a guest on Liz Ann Sonders’s equally great podcast (Schwab). I found their discussion so interesting I listed five times.

    Then, to my delight, I found that Barry had his own podcast (Bloomberg). He’s a sharp interviewer, asking questions to get guests to talk freely. He also seems like an all around positive and enthusiastic guy you wouldn’t mind having as a neighbor to chat about markets, economics, cars, or coffee with.

    Some of my favorite interviews are: Bob ... more

  • Bad host

    Barry Ritholtz is annoying always interrupting the guest and pretends that he knows more than the guest. Don’t keep cutting people off with meaningless phrases. Be humble and listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

At The Money: Hungry? Should You Invest in Wheat?
Q: Why use multiple futures maturities in WEAT and how does that affect risk?
Using three distinct contracts across maturities helps smooth out volatility, reduce front-month risk, and provide more stable price exposure for investors, acting as a strategic allocation product.
At The Money: Hungry? Should You Invest in Wheat?
Q: What was the problem that the wheat fund symbol WEAT was designed to solve for investors who wanted exposure to wheat, but are a little skittish about holding futures directly?
WEAT provides exposure to wheat prices via an ETF structure, allowing investors to gain indirect access to wheat futures without needing a margin account or dealing with the complexities of direct futures trading, while aiming to track wheat prices through futures.
Challenging The Titans of Asset Management with Jason Wenk
Q: What is Hazel and how does AI fit into your long-term vision for Altruist?
Hazel is tightly integrated with Altruist but can also be used independently. It enables advanced AI-driven automation for data gathering, financial planning, tax planning, and client communication, dramatically reducing manual labor and costs while improving precision and personalization across client relationships.
Challenging The Titans of Asset Management with Jason Wenk
Q: How did you navigate the incumbents and convince advisors to try Altruist?
Despite initial skepticism, thousands of advisors joined early access and hundreds became design partners, attracted by a transparent, customer-first approach and the promise of a system that actually improves advisor and client outcomes rather than maintaining the status quo.
Challenging The Titans of Asset Management with Jason Wenk
Q: What does modern custody mean in practical terms, and what problems were you addressing that required a new approach?
The industry relied on old infrastructure, with custodians providing limited data access and forcing reliance on costly third-party software for reporting and billing. Altruist built an integrated, cloud-native platform from the ground up to deliver fast onboarding, real-time validation, streamlined reporting, and simple, automated fee billing, thereby reducing manual work and costs for advisors and enhancing client experience.
