    Balderton's Rana Yared - a masterclass on building global companies out of Europe

    Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast. Today’s guest is an expert in financial services and capital markets who has experience as both a strategic investor and a VC. We welcome Rana Yared, a General Partner at Balderton, where she co-leads their Growth Fund. She came to Balderton in 2020 from across the pond, where she was a Partner at Goldman Sachs, first in the Principal Strategic Investments Group, a balance sheet investing team, and later in GS Growth, when the group became part of the GS Growth efforts that began to take in outside LP capital. At Goldman, Rana oversaw investments in Financial Technology and Enterprise Technology as well as the commercialization of Goldman’s technology assets in both NYC and London. She represented Goldman on the boards of Tradeweb, NAV, Vestwell, New York Shipping Exchange, and Swapclear @ LCH. She currently serves on the board of Tradeweb in an independent capacity. Coming off of a fundraise of $1.3B in new capital across early and growth stage funds at Balderton, Rana and I discussed what LPs were interested in and why Europe is a compelling investment ecosystem. We had a fascinating discussion about: Revolutionary and evolutionary innovations in financial services and private markets, including the likes of iCapital, Tradeweb, Revolut.Why global tech companies can be built in Europe, with Revolut, a Balderton portfolio company, as an example.Why London and Europe are compelling fintech and financial services ecosystems.How LPs should look at the European investment opportunity.Differences and benefits / drawbacks of being a strategic / permanent capital investor versus being an independent VC fund.The importance of being a risk manager in venture.Thanks Rana for coming on the show to share your wisdom and views on Europe, venture, and private markets.

    Blue Owl GP Strategic Capital's Sean Ward - transforming GP stakes into an industry

    Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast. Today’s podcast illustrates just how far private markets have come. We dive into the world of GP stakes with Sean Ward, Senior Managing Director from Blue Owl’s GP Strategic Capital Platform, where he was a founding partner and is responsible for helping to oversee the firm that has done the lion’s share of GP stakes investing. Blue Owl’s GP Strategic Capital business, which started out as Dyal Capital Partners, has accounted for over 61% of the total capital raised in the GP stakes space, closing on over $33.3B across their 7 funds and managing $57.8B AUM. They’ve taken minority ownership stakes in many of the industry’s leading alternative asset managers, accounting for 85%+ of all GP stakes deals $600M or greater in size. Sean is a Senior Managing Director of Blue Owl Capital, Inc. and a member of the firm’s Board of Directors. He also serves as a member of the GP Strategic Capital Investment Team. Prior to joining Dyal Capital Partners, the predecessor firm to Blue Owl’s GP Strategic Capital platform, Sean was a Vice President at Lehman Brothers and held several roles at Neuberger Berman after it became an independent firm, including Senior Counsel for Neuberger’s alternatives business. Sean was also a lawyer at Covington & Burling LLP and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP. Sean and I had a fascinating conversation about the evolution of private markets through the parallel evolution of the GP stakes space.  We discussed: The early days of the GP stakes industry.What it was like to convince GPs and LPs why stakes made sense.How the $1B GP commitment by Bain Capital in their fund post-GFC really opened everyone’s eyes to the need to tap into financing as firms grew their fund size and their business.A “cash in” rather than a “cash out.” Why GP stakes investing is mainly about positive selection since managers are choosing to sell a stake in their business.How alternative asset management has evolved as a business.How GP stakes investments have elements of bond-like coupons from cashflows due to management fees and option value from the upside of carry.Why GP stakes investments are “the most diversified single line item investment one can make in private markets.”Where allocators bucket GP stakes investments.What makes a great GP stakes investor.The power of permanent capital.The different paths to liquidity in GP stakes investments.Thanks Sean for coming on the show to share your views and wisdom on private markets.

    HGGC's Steve Young & True North Advisors' Scott Wood - "the score takes care of itself" on the field and in investing

    Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast. Today’s episode welcomes two elite performers in Steve Young of HGGC and Scott Wood of True North Advisors, where they talk about how they formed a partnership based on shared values. Steve’s private equity firm, $7B AUM HGGC, took a minority stake in Scott’s independent wealth management firm, $3.9B AUM True North Advisors, as part of their broader wealth management investment thesis. After an illustrious 15 year Hall of Fame career as a three-time Super Bowl winning quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, Steve embarked on second act to found HGGC that has rivaled his career on the field. Over the past 17 years, HGGC has grown to a $7B private equity firm that has completed 600 portfolio investments. After working on Wall Street where clients were not being fiduciarily served, Scott's journey as a registered independent advisor started in 2000, when he and his partner Mark Gehlbach decided to pioneer the fee-only  model to eliminate conflicts of interest in the client advisor relationship. The foundation they built has led to the growth of a firm that now stands at over 3.9B in AUM, with a large portion of that capital, $812M allocated to alternatives.  Steve, Scott, and I had a fascinating conversation about how they’ve built their respective investment firms, the importance of values and culture, and how they create abundant, fulfilling relationships. We discussed: Why “the score takes care of itself.”How and why defining the relationship up front is key in advisor M&A.How to assess culture fit when merging or acquiring advisors and wealth management firms.The importance of alternatives for better serving the client in an advisor’s practice.The concept of “decading” and why long-term thinking is critical in business and life.Thanks Steve and Scott for sharing your thoughts and decades of wisdom on business building, investing, and partnership.

    Going Public Ep. 1 with Evercore's Glenn Schorr

    Today marks the launch of a new show on Alt Goes Mainstream: Going Public with Evercore’s Glenn Schorr. 17 years ago, there wasn’t a single alternative asset manager that was part of the public markets. Today, not only are a number of the industry’s largest firms public, but in 2024, the industry’s largest alternative asset manager, Blackstone, entered the S&P 500. Understanding the inner workings, strategic moves, and financial performance of the industry’s largest players can help to explain many of the trends that are making alternatives become mainstream and these firms become mainstays in the financial services ecosystem. Going Public will make private markets more public with expert analysis. Glenn Schorr is a Senior MD and Senior Research Analyst at Evercore ISI, where he covers brokers, banks, asset managers, and trust banks as an analyst.  He has covered financials since 2000 and started coverage of alternative asset managers when the first firms went public. He’s consistently come up as one of the most thoughtful and well-respected analysts in the space. He balances deep research with a creative flair (just read one of the titles of his research reports and you can see his love of the game). He’s been named to Institutional Investor’s All-America Research Team for his coverage, most recently ranking #2 and runner up in 2023, #1 and #2 in 2022. Prior to Evercore, Glenn was a Senior MD at Nomura, serving as the lead financials analyst.  Listen in as Glenn shares market stories, the evolution of alternative asset managers as businesses, the biggest and most exciting trends in private markets based on what the industry’s largest players are doing, and we go “around the horn” for his analysis on the publicly traded firms.  Show Notes 00:38 Introduction to the Going Public Series and award-winning Wall Street Analyst, Glenn Schorr 01:54 Glenn's Career Journey 03:08 The Early Days of Alts Managers Going Public 03:26 Skepticism and Challenges in Going Public 04:06 Investor Skepticism and Challenges 07:00 Transformation and Tipping Points 09:03 Structural Tailwinds and Market Trends 10:57 The Decision to Go Public vs. Staying Private 12:39 Ambition and Vision in Asset Management 14:51 The Distribution vs. Manufacturing Debate 17:03 Lessons from Traditional Asset Management 18:55 Discipline and Growth in the Alts Market 20:03 The Future of Public and Private Markets 20:50 The Role of Distribution in Asset Management 21:59 Success Stories and Acquisition Strategies 23:02 Manufacturing Competency vs. Acquisitions 24:40 The Rise of Private Markets 26:07 How Alternative Managers Make Money 27:02 Valuation Factors for Alternative Managers 28:44 Profitability and Margins in Asset Management 29:23 Building a Business: Costs and Competitive Advantages 29:50 The Moat of Success in Business 30:15 Challenges for Traditional Asset Managers 30:56 The Importance of Vision and Technology 31:22 Scaling a Business with Proven Success 31:40 Insurance Asset Management: Strategic Moves and Structural Advantages 32:17 Structural Advantages in Asset Management 33:05 The Rise of Private Credit Managers 34:43 The Impact of Interest Rates on Private Credit Managers 35:32 Navigating Rate Sensitivity in Capital Markets 38:25 Deployment and Monetization in Asset Management 39:08 The Challenge of Dry Powder in Private Equity 41:14 The Role of Deployment in Investment Success 41:46 The Resilience of Publicly Traded Alts Managers 43:26 Spotlight on Blackstone's Growth and Innovation 46:38 KKR's Global Expansion and Innovation 48:41 Apollo's Market Leadership and Challenges 50:11 Blue Owl's Strategic Investments and Challenges 53:56 TPG's Public Transition and Growth 55:11 Carlyle’s Progress and Future Challenges 56:11 Looking Ahead: Key Trends and Expectations Disclosures Evercore ISI Glenn Schorr Company Coverage and Disclosures Ticker      Company APO         Apollo Global Management, Inc.
