On this episode, Lawrence and I had a fun and lively discussion. We covered:

What iCapital is seeing in the market now.The importance of developing long-term partnerships in business and life.Why there’s a need for advisors to understand how alts fit into overall client portfolios and innovations needed with technology and analytics through innovations like iCapital Architect.The path to including alts in model portfolios.Why alts are still sold, not bought — and how iCapital’s Marketplace may change that dynamic.How GPs needed to be educated on why and how working with the wealth channel made sense for their business.How the market has evolved to where many GPs are focused on working with the wealth channel.How things go slow and then they go fast, particularly in asset management.
