Monthly Alts Pulse Ep. 7: Taking the pulse of private markets with Lawrence Calcano, Chairman & CEO of iCapital

Alt Goes Mainstream: The Latest on Alternative Investments, WealthTech, & Private Markets

Welcome to the 7th episode of a collaboration between iCapital x Alt Goes Mainstream.

Here's the latest episode of the Monthly Alts Pulse, a live conversation in studio with Lawrence Calcano, the Chairman & CEO of iCapital, who as the leader of a platform that is responsible for the majority of individual and advisor-led investment flows into the alts space, has his finger on the pulse of what's happening in private markets.

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

• Why are chemistry and collaboration key for the next wave of private markets?
• How is solving distribution challenges like solving logistics challenges?
• What does the “Amazon-ification” of private markets mean?
• What does it mean to meet advisors at their point of need?
• What parallels can we draw from internet 1.0 to the growth in private markets today?
• How can the industry deliver tools to help advisors create holistic portfolios with alts at the start?
• What’s more important - the “fin” or the “tech” in “fintech?”

Thanks Lawrence for a great episode … looking forward to next month’s conversation!
