    E218: How the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and Fords Built Enduring Legacies

    How can families preserve wealth and well-being across five or more generations? In this episode, I dive deep into a conversation with James E. “Jay” Hughes, Jr., legendary family wealth advisor and author of five influential books including Family Wealth. Jay shares stories from advising families for over 50 years—why flourishing, not just financial returns, is the real measure of wealth; how families like the Rothschilds and Fords illustrate both triumph and tragedy; and why choosing trustees wisely may be the single most important decision for multi-generational continuity. We explore governance, purpose, philanthropy, Aristotle’s philosophy of flourishing societies, and Jay’s own midlife realization that the true professional question is not “what do you need?” but “how can I help?”

    E217: How to Manage $15B: Insights from Sacramento County's Pension Fund

    How should a public pension build an active equity and absolute-return program—without diluting alpha or chasing the “hot” manager? In this episode, I go deep with Brian Miller, Senior Investment Officer at the Sacramento County Employees’ Retirement System (SCERS), on constructing a $6B public-equity book inside a ~$15B plan, sizing managers, and using absolute-return strategies as true diversifiers. Brian reflects on 16 years at Tukman Grossman Capital Management (value, long-term compounding, and staying consistent), the realities of “LP capture” across cycles, and why tracking error isn’t the right risk lens. We unpack manager due diligence (including on-site visits), active vs. passive trade-offs, the global/US mix, and how SCERS uses MSCI Caissa for whole-portfolio visibility.

    E216: How the $100 Billion Continuation Vehicle Trend Is Changing Private Equity

    How can continuation vehicles and independent sponsors unlock structural alpha in private equity when traditional buyouts are struggling with low DPI? In this episode, I go deep with Paul Cohn, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Agility Equity Partners, on why continuation vehicles (CVs) and independent sponsor deals are reshaping the buyout landscape. Paul explains how CVs let GPs hold their best companies longer while still providing LP liquidity, why the lower middle market offers outsized return potential, and what makes independent sponsors a fast-growing segment of private equity. We cover alignment dynamics, incentives, real-world deal structures, the findings from the HEC Paris study on CVs, and the lessons Paul has learned over 15+ years investing in this niche.

    E215: The Pursuit of Uncorrelated Returns in Venture Capital w/Dan Kimerling

    Can venture capital be reinvented to deliver alpha without relying on “heroic assumptions”? In this episode, I go deep with Daniel Kimerling, Founder and Managing Partner of Deciens Capital, on his mission to build a different kind of venture fund—one focused on highly concentrated, long-duration bets in financial services. Dan explains why Deciens is unapologetically “get rich or die trying,” how his team avoids the venture hamster wheel of markups and momentum rounds, and why he believes the next generation of financial institutions (not just fintech apps) will be the true power-law winners. We cover his philosophy on portfolio construction, long timelines, liquidity vs. exits, and how Deciens publishes its playbooks openly to challenge orthodoxy.

    E214: Inside Look into a $14B Multi-Family Office

    How can ultra-high-net-worth families invest like endowments—without becoming forced sellers when markets turn? In this episode, I go deep with Greg Brown, Co-CEO of Caprock, on how a modern multi-family office serves UHNW families. Greg explains why Caprock acts as CFO first and CIO second, forecasting liquidity across complex balance sheets before allocating to private markets. We cover the thresholds for when privates make sense, how to structure portfolios for resilience, the role (and limits) of interval funds, and how Caprock uses pooled scale to negotiate economics and secure access to top deals. We also explore tax-alpha strategies like QSBS, Opportunity Zones, and long/short overlays.

  6. E213: How Fordham Invests Its $1B Endowment

    15 DE SET.

    E213: How Fordham Invests Its $1B Endowment

    How do you run a $1B endowment with a lean five-person team — while balancing liquidity, access, and high-conviction relationships? In this episode, I speak with Geeta Kapadia, CFA, Chief Investment Officer at Fordham University, about how she manages a concentrated portfolio of 30–40 manager relationships, the lessons she’s learned resetting the portfolio for liquidity, and why she favors passive equities with selective active bets in emerging markets and developed ex-US. We also dive into the shortcomings of interval funds, when to say yes to continuation vehicles, and how Fordham leverages the Gabelli alumni network and a student venture fund to extend sourcing and diligence reach.

    12 DE SET.

    E212: Unlocking $175M: Raising Venture & Private Equity Capital with SBICs

    How do you use the SBIC program to access long-dated, low-cost leverage—without blowing up risk? In this episode, I speak with Eric Rosiak, CEO & CIO of Amplify Community Investment Partners, about the mechanics of SBICs, the new accrual debenture license for venture and growth, what top LPs look for, and how policy changes could expand the opportunity set. We dig into eligibility tests, realistic fund sizes, diligence standards (they’re no joke), and why some large platforms now run SBIC sleeves alongside billion-dollar flagships.

    10 DE SET.

    E211: Disrupting The $100 Trillion Bond Market

    What would the bond market look like if it were built today? In this episode, I speak with Dylan Parker, CEO & Co-Founder of Moment, the operating system for fixed income that unifies trading, portfolio construction, and risk/compliance—and automates the workflows wealth platforms run every day. We dig into how fixed income finally went electronic, why half of bond trading still happens by phone or chat, and how Moment can build customized ladders in seconds instead of hours. We also unpack the (surprisingly big) after-tax edge in munis, and Dylan’s lessons from building automated credit trading at Citadel before raising a $36M Series B led by Index Ventures this summer.
