Small bay industrial has quietly become one of the most resilient corners of commercial real estate, and Anthony Scavo has built his entire business around it. As President and Managing Partner of Basis Industrial, he's grown the firm from three employees to over 50, assembling a multi-tenant small bay and self-storage portfolio that now tops 10 million square feet across Florida, Texas, Georgia, New York, and California. Anthony got his start at Lefrak before joining Basis in 2021 to build out its multi-tenant industrial platform. In this conversation, he breaks down why he believes small bay is safer than multifamily today, why new development doesn't pencil, and the wildest tenant stories from a decade in the business. Shoutout to our sponsor, WareSpace — turning underused industrial, flex, office, and big-box properties into micro warehouse space for small businesses.

“Anthropic will be a $3 trillion company, SpaceX $2 trillion, and OpenAI $1 to $1.5 trillion by Q2 of next year.” — Dave McClure Yesterday, Keith Teare and I debated the circularity of the AI economy. Today, two of Silicon Valley's most experienced investors, Dave McClure and Aman Verjee, not only straighten out this supposed “circularity” but also burst the pessimism bubble that envelops so many conversations about AI. Verjee is not only McClure's partner at Practical Venture Capital, but also the author of the newly published A Brief History of Financial Bubbles. According to him, today's AI-stoked economy is not an unusually large bubble. It may not even be a bubble, given that AI revenue — from Anthropic's $70 billion to OpenAI's $50 billion — is real. The irrational exuberance lives elsewhere — in companies “draping themselves in AI magic sauce” and in the “SaaSpocalypse” that is decimating software-as-a-service companies. They are both bullish about our AI future. McClure predicts that by the first half of next year, Anthropic and OpenAI will have joined SpaceX as public companies. Together, these three AI darlings will be worth $7 trillion. That's seven thousand billion reasons to be optimistic about 2027. Five Takeaways •       Not a Bubble — a Repricing. Both partners reject the bubble call, on the numbers: Anthropic at roughly $70 billion in revenue on under two gigawatts of compute, OpenAI at $40–50 billion, SpaceX guiding to $100 billion with more than half from AI — real revenue, increasingly real profits. The froth is specific: companies “draping themselves in AI magic sauce” without the substance, and the SaaSpocalypse — cloud-software companies whose cash flows are suddenly perceived as far less durable as AI encroaches on design, legal, and medical verticals. Michael Burry's warning gets Aman's definitive treatment (“he's called nine of the last two bubbles”), and the Aschenbrenner blowup was leverage — running four-x in volatile chip stocks — not AI: he kept his Anthropic position, is married to Dario's chief of staff, and “will be just fine.”•       The $2 Trillion Filing. The week's news, baked into the episode: Anthropic has filed to go public, with a very intentionally leaked $2 trillion valuation hinging on a $190–200 billion 2028 revenue forecast — which Dave suspects is conservative. Eight months ago, when these two last visited, the show was about Elon and Sam and Dario was the bit player; then came the weeks when decades happen: Anthropic's bet on coding agents — reportedly inspired by watching Cursor — captured the revenue engine of the entire application layer. Aman's sequencing: SpaceX is absorbing $75–85 billion of IPO capital, Anthropic goes next, and if both trade well, 2026 breaks every record for money raised — leaving 2027 for OpenAI at a $100 billion revenue guide. Google, he reminds us, went fourth after Yahoo, Lycos, and Excite: better to do it right than to do it first.•       The Fastest Pivot in Corporate History. Dave's account of SpaceX's transformation: the $250 billion xAI merger (a largely private transaction Elon approved with himself), the acquisition of Cursor that closed Friday, Colossus data centers scaling from two gigawatts toward ten, and compute deals renting capacity to Anthropic and Google — former competitors — all executed in roughly six months. The S-1, with unprecedented forward projections of $300 billion in annual revenue, mentions artificial intelligence over 1,100 times (“I used AI to count it,” Aman admits). The result is an economy Andrew calls incestuous: SpaceX's valuation now rests on Anthropic's progress. On Elon himself, Dave separates the art from the artist — terrific products, dubious politics — and on OpenAI: more board changes than Spinal Tap had drummers, a team still storming and norming, but Sam is savvy and the IPO lands by Q2 next year at $1–1.5 trillion.•       Circularity as Asset Class. The New York Times sees a vulnerability in tech giants funding their own customers; Aman, a former CFO at eBay and Sonos, sees asset-backed finance. His analogy: buying a Corvette with GMAC financing isn't a conspiracy as long as the terms are commercially reasonable — and NVIDIA's $500 billion backstop, syndicated with Goldman Sachs, Apollo, Brookfield, and KKR, brings third-party money that validates the asset. GPUs, he argues, are cars rather than smartphones: financeable over eight to ten years, not obsolete in three. The red flags to watch are rebates and self-dealing on non-commercial terms; the current evidence looks more like aircraft leasing than Enron. Dave's deeper worry isn't the AI economy at all — it's the national deficit, whose interest payments are now the largest single line item in the federal budget.•       The Luddite Summer Meets the Long Boom. Aman's sharpest historical observation: this may be the first technological revolution whose leaders are the doomers — Sam prophesying idleness, Dario predicting half of entry-level white-collar jobs destroyed within five years (already wrong at eighteen months, with no 10–20 percent unemployment in sight). Against the WSJ's jobless-boom and nation-of-Luddites anxieties, the book offers the long view: of ten historical bubbles, the two positive ones — Britain's 1845 railway mania and America's 1997–2000 internet boom — overbuilt, crashed, and left the world a valuable technology. Buy every stock founded in the boom and hold, and you'd have owned NVIDIA, Amazon, Google, and PayPal. The 1970s wiped out four to six million secretarial jobs in a decade; women's participation rose from 52 to 77 percent. And on China, the free-trader's answer: partners in progress — there's more to gain than lose if we do this right. About the Guests Dave McClure and Aman Verjee are the co-founders and managing partners of Practical Venture Capital, a Silicon Valley firm specializing in venture secondaries. Dave founded 500 Startups, invested at Founders Fund, and ran marketing at PayPal; Aman was COO of 500 Startups, led strategy at PayPal and eBay, served as CFO of Sonos and of eBay's North American marketplace — and wrote the first draft of PayPal's S-1. Aman's new book, A Brief History of Financial Bubbles (out this week), is available at bigbubbletrouble.com. References: •       A Brief History of Financial Bubbles by Aman Verjee — ten manias from the tulips to the subprime crash, out this week at bigbubbletrouble.com.•       Reuters on Anthropic's IPO filing — the $2 trillion valuation and the $190–200 billion 2028 revenue forecast it hinges on.•       “The Summer That America Became a Nation of Luddites” and the “jobless boom” — the Wall Street Journal pieces threading this week's episodes.•       The New York Times on tech giants' circular AI economy — the piece that framed yesterday's TWTW debate and today's rebuttal.•       The SpaceX S-1 — forward projections of $300 billion in ann...

NVIDIA mobilizes over $500 billion in third-party capital to finance AI infrastructure, Anthropic doubles down on data-center ownership and mandatory content watermarking, and Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman debate whether distributed AI at the edge is finally ready to accelerate, all on Ep. 315 of The Six Five Pod. The handpicked topics for this week are: NVIDIA Turns AI Compute Into an Asset Class: NVIDIA signed an MOU with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital for AI compute financing, with NVIDIA backstopping up to 25% of individual deals. Patrick Moorhead called it a mechanism that locks partners into NVIDIA's ecosystem without technically locking them into NVIDIA on paper, while Daniel Newman framed it as smart deployment of NVIDIA's projected trillion dollars in three-year free cash flow. (The Decode) Anthropic Doubles Down on Infrastructure Control and Content Authenticity: Anthropic is moving to mandatory invisible watermarking on all Claude-generated text and images worldwide, aligning with the EU's Code of Practice on AI transparency, while also forming a data-center joint venture called Theseus Infrastructure with Macquarie Asset Management and GIC. Moorhead called the watermarking timing risky given Anthropic's ongoing trust concerns, citing data suggesting Claude's Fable 5 model has struggled to gain enterprise traction. Newman raised the "means of creation" IP problem: enterprises building proprietary products on top of Claude could see their own outputs credited to Claude instead of themselves. (The Decode) The Frontier Model Landscape Splits: xAI shipped Grok 4.6 at what the hosts characterized as frontier-tier intelligence for more than 60% less cost, while Google's Gemini 3.5 Pro slipped again to August, its third delay from a promised June launch. Moorhead noted open models have compressed the gap with frontier labs from 9-12 months to mere weeks, intensifying the price war, while pushing back on reports of "muted" internal sentiment on Gemini 4 and pointing to Google's track record inventing transformers, TPUs, and PageRank. (The Decode) Zuckerberg's "The Future Is for Everyone" Essay: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg published a 6,000-word essay using the word "superintelligence" 60 times, arguing for open-weight AI and zero government regulation while explicitly distancing Meta from OpenAI and Anthropic. Patrick read the essay as a positioning document aimed at Washington policymakers, timed to argue against export controls and training-checkpoint restrictions. Daniel pointed to Meta's 3 billion daily users and self-directed compute stack as the company's real advantage, even as its frontier-model leadership remains unproven. (The Decode) Intel Prices Largest All-Common-Stock US Follow-On Ever: Intel's stock offering grew from an announced $15 billion to $20 billion and finally $23 billion after the full greenshoe, drawing $100 billion in orders, more than 2,700 times oversubscribed, priced at $95 a share. Moorhead traced the raise back to CEO Lip-Bu Tan's refusal to pre-invest in 14A capacity without a confirmed customer, a stance that drew public criticism before a public reconciliation and a 10% U.S. government investment in Intel. Both hosts read Tan's personal $12 million purchase of shares as a credibility signal. (The Decode) The Flip: Will Distributed AI at the Edge Accelerate in the Next 12-18 Months?: Moorhead argued FOR, pointing to the historical pattern of compute migrating toward the point of content creation and citing new device-to-cloud routing technology like NVIDIA Switchyard as removing the sovereignty and latency barriers that kept edge AI stalled. Newman argued AGAINST, pointing to $944 billion that flowed into centralized AI infrastructure in a single week and research showing AI PC adoption is actually decelerating in 2026, with most on-device AI features still routing to cloud models in a browser tab. The Flip assigns Moorhead and Newman opposing sides of a debate, not necessarily their own positions. The exercise tests how far each argument holds up. (The Flip) CoreWeave Posts Strong Beat as Depreciation Debate Intensifies: CoreWeave reported Q2 revenue of $2.58 billion, up 112% year-over-year and above consensus, alongside a smaller-than-expected adjusted loss and a backlog that grew to $104 billion, up 246% year-over-year. Moorhead pointed to contracts running through 2029 on six-year-old A100 chips as evidence a resale market has emerged around aging AI hardware. (Bulls and Bears) Nebius Group Posts 454% Revenue Growth: Nebius reported Q2 revenue of $582.3 million, up 454% year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA turning positive at $236.2 million versus a loss in the prior year. Both hosts flagged energy access, not capital or demand, as the primary constraint facing neoclouds like Nebius. (Bulls and Bears) Lenovo Posts Record Revenue and First-Ever Billion-Dollar Profit Quarter: Lenovo reported record revenue of $26.9 billion, up 43% year-over-year, its best quarter in company history, with adjusted net income crossing $1 billion for the first time. Moorhead highlighted the Infrastructure Solutions Group's record 9.1% operating margin and an AI server pipeline that grew 157% quarter-over-quarter. (Bulls and Bears) Cisco Delivers Its Best Print in Years, Market Sells Anyway: Cisco reported $17.25 billion in revenue, up 18% year-over-year and beating estimates by $432 million, with product orders up 35% and triple-digit growth in hyperscaler AI infrastructure orders. Moorhead called out enterprise orders up 21% and public sector orders up 30% as early evidence that enterprise AI demand is starting to show up in the numbers. (Bulls and Bears) Cerebras Systems Beats on Revenue, Stock Drops 15% on Accounting Confusion: Cerebras posted record core revenue of $209.9 million, up 103% year-over-year, and raised full-year guidance to $880-890 million, but shares fell 15% after-hours as investors struggled to reconcile GAAP and non-GAAP figures around customer warrants. Newman argued the real question is whether Cerebras' inference cloud growth ramp holds up, not near-term accounting noise. (Bulls and Bears) Coherent Posts First-Ever $2 Billion Quarter: Coherent reported record revenue of $2.05 billion, up 34% year-over-year, with non-GAAP EPS up 74%. Pat noted 79% of Coherent's business is data center and communications-related, positioning the company as a direct beneficiary of hyperscaler AI capital spending across multiple photonics technologies. (Bulls and Bears) Applied Materials Posts Record Quarter, Guides Above Street: Applied Materials reported record revenue of $9.12 billion, up 25% year-over-year, with record non-GAAP EPS of $3.50 and a fourth-quarter guide of $10.25 billion, well above consensus. Moorhead pointed to the company's 13th straight quarter of gross margin expansion and its ability to compete across packaging, advanced logic, and metrology.

Nvidia, CoreWeave and Wall Street are pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into AI infrastructure. But how does the financial machine behind the AI boom actually work and where are the risks?In this episode of the Market Maker Podcast, Anthony Cheung and Piers Curran unpack CoreWeave's extraordinary growth and $100bn+ revenue backlog, Nvidia's role at the centre of the AI ecosystem, and the huge amounts of debt and private capital being used to finance data centres and GPUs.We explain what neoclouds are, why GPUs are increasingly being treated as infrastructure assets, and how firms including BlackRock, Blackstone, Apollo, Goldman Sachs and KKR are helping finance the AI buildout.But there's another side to the story. We explore the “circular financing” concerns surrounding Nvidia and its customers, the growing concentration risk across the AI industry, and what could happen if hyperscalers such as Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Meta begin to slow their enormous AI spending.Finally, we look at the wider macro picture, including the latest US CPI inflation data, Federal Reserve interest rate expectations and why the AI boom itself is beginning to show up in inflation.Is this the financial infrastructure needed to power the next technological revolution or is too much money becoming dependent on the AI boom continuing?(00:00) The $1 Trillion AI Spending Boom(03:51) CoreWeave's Incredible Growth(04:58) The $104BN AI Order Book(08:35) What Is a Neocloud?(11:18) The Huge Cost of AI Infrastructure(16:13) Nvidia's $500BN Wall Street Deal(17:53) How GPUs Became an Asset Class(21:14) Was Michael Burry Wrong on AI?(24:50) How Wall Street Finances AI(27:12) The AI Circular Financing Risk(33:34) Nvidia's Biggest Concentration Risk(37:18) Can the AI Spending Boom Continue?(38:50) How to Invest Beyond Big Tech(40:12) The Next Trillion-Dollar AI Company?(44:30) AI Boom or House of Cards?(45:06) US Inflation Falls Again(47:05) Will the Fed Hike in September?(49:27) What to Expect From Jackson Hole

Three years ago, BMO Global Asset Management (BMO GAM) launched a fund that defied traditional categories. It wasn't quite equity, and it wasn't quite fixed income. Advisors weren't always sure where it fit, and that was precisely the point. Today, the BMO Strategic Equity Yield Fund has grown to $1.3 billion in assets. In this special anniversary episode of Insight Is Capital, BMO GAM CEO Bill Bamber returns to discuss the thinking behind the strategy, the problem it was designed to solve, who may benefit from it, and where it belongs in a portfolio. Drawing on three decades of experience in global capital markets, Bill explores why Canada has emerged as a leader in structured solutions, how investor needs are reshaping portfolio construction, and the rise of what he calls convergence investing. Along the way, he offers a fresh perspective that could change how advisors think about model portfolios.

Nvidia just lined up $500 billion in funding from some of the biggest financiers in the world. Does this mean compute is now its own asset class? Plus, analysts warn the Iran war could merge with the Russia-Ukraine war. Could the US end up pulling out of the Middle East altogether? And existing home sales dropped in July. Are buyers starting to get the upper hand?  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Chris Pierce and Sean Graham from Maven Cost Segregation discuss how most real estate investors overlook the incredible tax benefits of niche asset classes like gas stations and car washes. Sean Graham, owner of Maven Cost Segregation, reveals how these properties unlock massive depreciation advantages, sometimes allowing for 100% bonus depreciation in Year 1. Imagine buying a gas station for $1.2 million with just a few hundred thousand in land, and being able to write off the entire property immediately. That's the power of understanding IRS rules and proper classification.

Ep 335: Franchising as an Asset Class: A Unique Way Of Building Wealth

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we uncover a highly lucrative, yet often overlooked, asset class: medical office properties. While investors crowd into saturated markets like boutique hotels and Airbnbs, medical real estate offers untapped potential for steady, passive income.We break down the five specific reasons why medical office buildings are the strongest necessity-based assets in any portfolio. From recession-resistant demand to triple-net lease structures that eliminate traditional landlord headaches, this episode explores exactly why healthcare properties outshine traditional real estate.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDThe strategic shift from saturated Airbnb markets to niche medical real estate.How sale-leaseback opportunities arise when hospital systems choose to go asset-light.Why the high cost of medical practice buildouts creates incredibly sticky, long-term tenants.The recession-proof nature of necessity-based healthcare versus discretionary consumer spending.Demographic advantages of an aging population creating guaranteed future healthcare demand.The benefits of triple net leases where tenants cover taxes, insurance, and maintenance.Why specialized procedural clinics remain completely insulated from telehealth disruption.KEY TAKEAWAYSMedical providers prioritize patient retention and location, meaning they rarely relocate after investing heavily in specialized plumbing and electrical buildouts.Discretionary income disappears during economic downturns, but necessity-based medical treatments remain fully funded by consumers regardless of the economy.Healthcare utilization climbs steeply with age, creating a mathematical certainty of high demand as older demographics transition into their highest utilization decades.Triple net lease structures allow investors to achieve strong, stable returns without the active management headaches associated with residential properties.Physical therapy, dermatology, and procedural clinics offer built-in protection against the rise of virtual consultations and remote telehealth services.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONImagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.

Finding great investments is important. Finding the right operators may be even more important. Description Senate Eskridge shares why he shifted away from operating apartment syndications and into managing a fund of funds that gives investors access to multiple investment opportunities across different industries. He explains how his role has changed from managing properties to carefully evaluating operators and guiding investors toward opportunities that fit their goals. Senate also walks through the five stage due diligence process his investment group uses before presenting any opportunity, including independent underwriting, background checks, and a final personal test where he asks whether he would invest his own mother's money. The conversation also covers how free education through webinars, conferences, and podcasts has helped him build trust with new investors while creating lasting relationships.

This week on Swimming with Allocators, Earnest and Alexa welcome Senia Rapisarda of HarbourVest, who walks through her journey from Italy and Wall Street to leading venture and growth efforts in Canada, first at BDC and now as a major LP. She explains how Canada's venture ecosystem has evolved, the creation and impact of the Venture Capital Action Plan, and why innovation capital is critical to national sovereignty.

He describes how the market has broadened to more types of investors and fund sizes, and outlines the conflict-of-interest controls that make these GP-led secondaries work.

In February 2024, we released an episode titled “Investing in Essential UK Social Infrastructure”, with the Founder & CEO of Newcore Capital, Hugo Llewelyn. In this episode, we wanted to reacquaint investors with the thesis and discuss why the investment opportunity might be so compelling. Hugo explains where capital is scarce, where private assets are blocked and where opportunities exist.  He describes the four areas of their focus; healthcare, education, transport and civic, and where cash-strapped local authorities and government arms need to increasingly find solutions by working with the private sector. Hugo details the priorities in execution, their targeted returns, why local authority pension funds and family offices have been important investors and why real estate is a very accessible way of investing in infrastructure. ‍Newsletter | LinkedIn | YouTube

Collaborative philanthropy is emerging as one of the most promising innovations in modern giving. In this episode of the Do One Better Podcast, host Alberto Lidji is joined by three leading voices in collaborative philanthropy: Alison Powell, Partner at The Bridgespan Group and leader of its Collaborative Philanthropy practice; Kimberly Dasher Tripp, Founder of Strategy for Scale; and Neha Dalal, Principal at Jasper Ridge Partners, where she advises families and foundations on strategic philanthropy and impact. Together, they explore the growing role of collaborative funds as a powerful vehicle for scaling philanthropic impact. Drawing on their jointly authored article, Collaboratives as a Philanthropic Asset Class, the guests examine how expert-led pooled funds are reshaping the philanthropic landscape. They explain why collaborative funds—vehicles that aggregate capital from multiple donors and deploy it through a shared strategy—can help address some of philanthropy's most persistent challenges, including fragmented giving, limited donor capacity, and the difficulty of identifying and supporting the highest-impact opportunities. The conversation explores the analogy between collaborative funds and investment vehicles such as mutual funds, ETFs, and venture capital funds. Just as investors rely on professional fund managers and diversified portfolios, donors can leverage collaborative funds to access deep expertise, rigorous diligence, strategic coordination, and greater reach than they might achieve on their own. Alison, Kimberly, and Neha discuss the remarkable diversity of collaborative funds operating today—from issue-focused initiatives addressing climate change, gender equity, poverty, global health, and education, to community-led funds that place decision-making power in the hands of those closest to the challenges being addressed. They also examine how collaborative funds can help donors learn while giving, build relationships with peers, and participate in communities of practice focused on shared impact goals. The discussion addresses common misconceptions and critiques of collaborative giving, including concerns about intermediary costs, loss of donor control, and potential duplication within the philanthropic ecosystem. The guests explain why these considerations are best understood as trade-offs rather than shortcomings, and how collaborative models can often increase both efficiency and effectiveness while mobilizing significantly more capital toward urgent social and environmental challenges. The episode also explores the infrastructure needed to support the continued growth of collaborative philanthropy, including improved discovery tools, clearer evaluation frameworks, and stronger field-building efforts that help donors identify and engage with collaborative opportunities aligned with their values and objectives. Whether you are an experienced philanthropist, an emerging donor, a family office advisor, or simply interested in how resources can be deployed more effectively for social impact, this conversation offers a compelling perspective on why collaborative funds may become an increasingly important part of the future of philanthropy. Key Topics Covered What collaborative philanthropy funds are and how they operate Why collaborative funds can be viewed as a philanthropic asset class The parallels between collaborative giving and investment fund models How collaborative funds increase efficiency, expertise, and scale The role of community leadership, proximity, and power-sharing in philanthropy Different collaborative fund structures, governance models, and strategies How donors can determine whether collaborative giving is right for them The importance of donor self-awareness and philanthropic strategy Common barriers to collaborative giving and how they can be overcome The infrastructure needed to strengthen the collaborative philanthropy ecosystem Why many practitioners see collaborative funds as a key part of philanthropy's future Memorable Insights Collaborative funds allow donors to leverage expert knowledge, shared diligence, and collective action. Giving through a collaborative fund does not replace direct philanthropy; it complements it. Many of philanthropy's biggest challenges are too large and interconnected for any single donor to address alone. Collaborative funds can help move capital more quickly, strategically, and at greater scale. The future of philanthropy may depend on helping donors move from acting alone to acting together.

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, Paul sits down with Christopher Craig, a Foreclosure Surplus Expert, tax strategist, and serial entrepreneur, to discuss why the traditional "American Dream" of real estate investing might actually be keeping you trapped. Christopher breaks down why he is selling off his massive real estate portfolio to invest in a low-maintenance, high-yield asset class: legal arcade games and medical equipment. Instead of dealing with tenants and broken roofs, he explains how business owners and high-income earners can use bonus depreciation to legally zero out their taxes while generating true, hands-off passive income. In this conversation, Christopher shares: Why traditional rental properties are a "slow burn" that trap your equity How to legally offset 100% of your taxable income using bonus depreciation The exact blueprint for investing in legal arcade machines and medical equipment Why adaptability and taking the first step are the true secrets to leaving the W-2 grind This episode is a must-listen for business owners, high-income earners, and anyone looking to build real passive income while mastering the tax game.

Private markets have become an increasingly important part of how large institutional investors build diversified portfolios—but they're also an area that can feel complex and, at times, misunderstood. At their core, private markets include investments that aren't traded on public exchanges — meaning they're less liquid and have historically offered investors additional return potential in exchange for that trade-off. Within this space, two key areas stand out: private equity, which involves investing in the ownership of private companies, and private credit, which focuses on lending to those companies. Private credit now plays a critical role in financing businesses of all sizes, offering flexible, customized solutions that often aren't available in public markets. But with that growth has come increased scrutiny. Recent headlines have raised concerns about credit quality, liquidity, and how these investments might perform if economic conditions weaken. So, what's really happening beneath the surface—and how should long-term investors think about the risks and opportunities? For the Wisconsin Retirement System, private credit is one part of a broader, diversified Core Fund. In this episode, we'll break down how private credit works, why companies choose it, and how SWIB approaches investing in this space with a long-term perspective. In this episode of The SWIB Podcast, senior portfolio managers Beth Holzberger and Lin Maung will help unpack the evolution of private credit, address some of the concerns making headlines, and explain how these investments contribute to the strength of the WRS Core Fund.

270: In this episode, I sat down with John Bernard from Southview Timber to break down how timberland investing actually works, and why it's one of the most overlooked real estate strategies out there.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/270)We talk about how timberland produces income, how deals are structured, and why this asset class has quietly created long-term wealth outside of traditional real estate and stocks. John also explains how they find deals without marketing, how timber is valued, and the multiple ways you can monetize rural land.If you've ever wondered how land investing can generate cash flow beyond flipping or rentals, this conversation will open your eyes.

Is the "unsexy" side of real estate actually the most profitable? While most investors are getting burned in the "dumpster fire" of multifamily syndications or fighting over crowded RV parks and self-storage units, a quiet revolution is happening in small-bay industrial real estate. In this episode, we sit down with Graham Story and Jesse Durham, two North Carolina-based investors and brokers who have cracked the code on high-cash-flow industrial warehouses. From serving as an Army officer to navigating the world of CCIMs, Jesse and Graham share their "origin story" of moving from high-headache residential Airbnbs to the high-margin world of Triple Net (NNN) industrial leases. They break down the exact math of how they forced $175,000 in equity on a single building just by signing a lease, and why they prefer "mom and pop" tenants over big-box retailers. If you want to learn how to find deals on Facebook Marketplace, structure 10% down seller financing, and use the "substitution of collateral" hack to build a portfolio with zero money out of pocket, this is the episode for you. Key Topics Covered:The Multi-Family "Dumpster Fire" vs. Industrial: Why industrial is a "little-known" asset class that adds more zeros to your bottom line with less competition. Forced Appreciation Secrets: How a single $3,000/month lease jumped a property value from $250k to $425k instantly. The Power of Triple Net (NNN) Leases: Why you'll never have to worry about "toilets, tenants, and trash" when the tenant pays the taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Creative Financing 101: A breakdown of their "cookie-cutter" seller financing offer: 10% down, 5.5% interest, and a 25-year amortization. The "Substitution of Collateral" Hack: A rare commercial strategy that allows you to move debt between properties to keep buying more buildings. Finding Tenants on Facebook: Why Facebook Marketplace is outperforming LoopNet and Crexi for small-bay industrial spaces. Due Diligence Essentials: Why you need a "Phase 1" environmental report and why OSHA is not your friend. Small-bay industrial real estate is the "path of progress" for investors who want stable, long-term cash flow without the volatility of residential markets. Whether you are driving for dollars in your own backyard or looking to scale across the state, Graham and Jesse prove that you don't need millions to start—you just need the right niche. The Commercial Real Estate Blueprint Program is an 8-week cohort for people who want to start buying commercial real estate. Weekly group calls, a one-on-one strategy session, plus the templates and scripts Graham and Jesse use to source and close deals. You'll leave with a defined buy box, a working prospecting system, and the confidence to send your first LOI. The first cohort starts in early June and is capped at 10 spots.

In this special episode of This Week in Global Development, Alain Ebobissé, CEO of Africa50, joins Devex Managing Editor Anna Gawel to discuss a paradigm shift in African infrastructure investment. Africa50, a pan-African investor, is moving beyond one-off projects to aggregate large-scale, “institution-grade” sustainable energy assets. By shifting the narrative from a development imperative to a viable commercial opportunity, Ebobissé explains how his organization is attracting both global and African capital to bridge the continent's massive energy gap, which currently leaves around 600 million people without basic electricity. A centerpiece of the conversation is the critical role of private sector participation in electricity transmission, an area historically funded exclusively by governments. Ebobissé emphasizes that power generation is futile without the grid capacity to deliver electricity to end users and businesses, highlighting Africa50's work on the continent's first independent private transmission projects. Looking toward the next decade, he advocates for a balanced energy mix — including renewables and natural gas — and issues a call for a heightened sense of urgency among global institutions to prioritize results over perfection in order to close the energy gap at speed.

A study after the covid pandemic established that in care homes controlled by private equity firms the death rate was more than 50 per cent higher than in other homes.On Free State today we look at how private equity is capitalism cannibalising itself. Hettie O'Brien, author of The Asset Class, is on with us to talk about how this happened, how governments retreated from the public realm and left private equity take over the world.She explains how they took over the things we have to have, electricity, childcare, housing when governments retreated. And as they did, things became worse. She explains how ideology took hold and while the masses were scolded for acquiring debt, private equity found they could live with it, or somebody else could die with it. Hosted on Acast.

John Quinn is joined by Jack Neumark, Managing Partner and Co-Head of Specialty Finance of Fortress Investment Group and Founder of its Legal Assets Group. They discuss the emergence of legal assets as a distinct investment class.  Fortress is a leading player in litigation finance with over $6.5 billion deployed in legal assets and a current portfolio of approximately $3 billion. While most litigation funders typically invest in individual cases, Fortress invests in diversified portfolios of litigation claims and contingent fee receivables. Fortress underwrites and finances these portfolios the same way it does other specialty finance products. To underwrite a portfolio, Fortress has lawyers examine the cases in the portfolio to determine how strong and likely to settle they are. They consider factors including the defendants and how creditworthy they are, the damage theories asserted, how far the case has progressed, what motion practice has revealed, and whether related criminal charges have been filed. They also consider the law firms involved, the judge, and the venue. Fortress also conducts quantitative analyses of the historical results of similar cases based on publicly available data and proprietary data it has accumulated in the 15 years it has invested in legal assets. Legal asset portfolios are attractive to many investors because the results of lawsuits are less subject to the performance of the economy in general than many other classes of assets. Also, because the market for legal assets is still developing, sophisticated investors can often obtain better returns than in more mature markets. Jack believes that as the industry matures, especially with potential regulatory changes around law firm ownership, litigation finance will become more mainstream and integrated into broader investment strategies.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Robert Gardner has built four ventures in financial services,  including Redington, the UK investment consultancy that's advised on £800B+ in assets.Now he's taking on a new category: Natural Capital.Because nature has always been “investable”, just usually as a commodity.The old way looks like squeezing every ounce of value out of the Earth without any regard for long-term consequences. The playbook was essentially cut it down, harvest it, extract the value, and move on. Robert thinks that model is outdated, and he's building the alternative, making nature an investible asset class (more like real estate or infrastructure), where the value comes from what nature does, not what you can take from it.In this episode, Stacy Havener sits down with Robert to get concrete about what investing in nature looks like in the real world.Listen in to hear:What changes when you're not raising money for a strategy… but for a new asset classHow Robert translates Natural Capital into familiar investing language (property/infrastructure)A real case study (Nestlé + oyster reefs) and the incentive chain behind itWhat underwriting looks like when your revenue is tied to nature doing its jobWhy legitimacy comes from repetition + simplicity (not complexity)The early-stage trust-building lesson every emerging fund manager needsMore about Rob Gardner:Robert is Co-Founder & CEO of Rebalance Earth, the UK's largest dedicated Natural Capital asset manager. He previously served as Investment Director at St. James's Place and co-founded Redington, Mallowstreet, and RedSTART. His work is focused on making nature an investible asset class and proving finance can be a force for good. ---Running a fund is hard enough.Ops shouldn't be.Meet the team that makes it easier. | billiondollarbackstory.com/ultimus- - -Thinking about expanding your investor base beyond the US?

In this episode of Alternative Allocations, Michael Bell from Meketa Capital breaks down why infrastructure has become one of the most compelling opportunities in private markets today. Michael explains how infrastructure investments offer a rare combination of growth potential, steady income, inflation hedging, and low correlation to traditional assets, making them particularly valuable in today's market environment. The discussion dives deep into the differences between public and private infrastructure, the importance of working with experienced managers who have decades of proven performance, and why the private markets allocation in wealth portfolios is expected to grow from 2-3% to 20-25% over the next decade. Michael Bell, Chief Executive Officer, Meketa Capital and Primark Capital, Michael has more than 25 years of experience in the investment management and wealth management industries. He is the Chief Executive Officer of Meketa Capital as well as the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Primark Capital.
