After five years, 345 episodes, countless laughs, arguments, predictions, detours and unforgettable moments, this episode marks the end of an era for The Higher Standard. Saied is stepping away from the show to begin an important new chapter in his life, and while we are incredibly proud of him, there is no pretending this is not a painful and deeply emotional moment. THS was never just a podcast… it was a friendship, a partnership and a community built one conversation at a time. To every listener who welcomed Saied into their week, supported the show and grew alongside us, thank you. This is not goodbye. It is simply “I'll see you later.” We love you brother, and The Higher Standard will always be your home.

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.We were live from Berlin, which becomes the “capital of private capital” in June as the private equity's industry leaders make the annual pilgrimage to the city for one of the marquee private equity conferences, SuperReturn Berlin.Much of the SuperReturn conference is centered on fundraising. GPs take up every available space — from hotel rooms to Tiny Space cabins that line the parking spots on Budapester Strasse outside of the InterContinental conference venue — to conduct meetings with LPs.With Prosek Partners and former Bloomberg TV journalist Deirdre Bolton as my producer, along with her team, we took over a Tiny Space cabin to hold big conversations with some of the industry's leading alternative asset managers.Our first conversation was with Apax Co-CEOs Andrew Sillitoe and Mitch Truwit.Apax is one of the pioneers in the private equity industry. The firm's rich history dates back to the 1970s, when its founders, Alan Patricof (US), Sir Ronald Cohen (UK), and Maurice Tchénio (France), came together to establish the first US-UK partnership firm in private equity. During that time period, the firm backed Steve Jobs and the first iteration of Apple. The UK and US firms merged in 1981, laying the foundation for Apax.Today, Apax stands at over $80B in aggregate funds raised. The firm underwent its second leadership transition in 2014, when Andrew and Mitch were elected as Co-CEOs, succeeding Martin Halusa, who became Chairman.Apax sits in a unique position. They are a scaled platform that focuses on the middle market. They operate across three sectors, Tech, Services, and Digital / Consumer, infusing a digital DNA and value creation team into everything they do. Their platform spans “a mile wide and a mile deep,” which is what much of the conversation between Andrew, Mitch, and me unpacked.We had a fascinating discussion about the current state of private equity and the middle market, why Apax focuses on “density-driven business models,” why the firm focuses on carveouts in the middle market, what's underappreciated about the middle market, why it's important to “buy in the right neighborhood and fix it up,” and how the firm's core values of “having impact through insight and tenacity” drive every decision they make.BiosAndrew Sillitoe has been Co-CEO of Apax since 2014. He is Chairman of the Apax Global Investment Committee and the Digital Investment Committee, amongst others. He is also a member of the Apax Executive Committee. He has been based in London since joining the Firm in 1998, focusing on Tech & Telco investments.Andrew has been involved in a number of investments including Inmarsat, Intelsat, King, Orange Switzerland, TIVIT, TDC and Unilabs.Prior to joining Apax, Andrew was a consultant at LEK. Andrew holds an MA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from the University of Oxford and an MBA from INSEAD.BoardsAndrew has previously served on the boards of Inmarsat, King, Intelsat, Orange Switzerland and TDC.Mitch Truwit is Co-CEO of Apax, based in New York.Prior to joining Apax in 2006, Mitch was the President and CEO of Orbitz Worldwide between 2005 and 2006 and was the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of priceline.com between 2001 and 2005.Mitch is a graduate of Vassar College where he received a BA in Political Science. He also holds an MBA from the Harvard Business School.BoardsMitch serves as a Board member of Openlane and Trade Me. Prior boards include Advantage Sales & Marketing, Assured Partners, Dealer.com, Bankrate, Garda World, Hub International, Trader Canada, Boats Group and Quality Distribution Inc.Mitch serves on the charitable boards of the Apax Foundation, the John McEnroe Tennis Project, Posse and StreetSquash.Thanks, Andrew and Mitch, for a fascinating conversation and for sharing your expertise, wisdom, and passion at the intersection of investing and operating in private equity.Show Notes00:00 Meet Apax co-CEOs, Andrew Sillitoe and Mitch Truwit00:26 Andrew's Origins at Apax00:47 Private Equity Then vs Now01:25 Apax Growth and Values01:45 Curiosity as a Differentiator02:04 Mitch's Operator Background02:56 Why Mitch Joined Apax03:40 Defining the Middle Market04:14 Why Sub-Billion EV Works04:59 Middle Market Talent Gap05:20 Carve Outs as a Strategy05:29 TRADER Corporation - Canada App Turnaround06:12 Scaled Platform Advantage07:14 Digital DNA and AI Wave07:50 Top Line Growth Lever08:36 Add-ons and TAM Expansion09:33 ECI Case Study Roll Up10:07 Integration Over Collection10:28 Exit Options in a Bigger PE World10:59 Building for Multiple Buyers11:45 Fund Size Discipline12:34 Choosing Returns Over AUM13:16 Understanding Firm DNA14:01 Global Micro Investing14:49 Making Global Pods Work15:50 Scale Specialization Flexibility17:08 Where to Invest Now19:23 Buying Complexity for Value20:15 Moats and Investment Committee22:13 Why Middle Market Excites Them23:19 Future of PE and AI at Scale24:50 Impact Insight Tenacity Culture25:54 Obligation to Dissent Story26:55 Aspirational Brand Analogy27:48 Wrap Up and Thanks

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. SK Hynix Inc. raised $26.5 billion in its American depositary receipt offering, as the South Korean memory chipmaker powered through volatility to deliver the largest ever US first-time share sale by a foreign company. The company sold 177.9 million ADRs for $149 each, according to a statement confirming an earlier Bloomberg News report. Each ADR is equivalent to a 10th of a Seoul-traded common share. At $26.5 billion, the offering tops Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.'s US debut to become the third biggest listing in history, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. We speak to Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. The US military struck Iran for the second straight day, an escalation of violence that threatens to strain an already fragile ceasefire. The attacks came just hours after President Donald Trump at the NATO summit in Turkey said the US would probably target Iran again. The US launched attacks on Tuesday and revoked a waiver allowing new sales of Iranian oil in response to attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz that the administration blamed on the Islamic Republic. Oil extended its gains. We spoke to Stephen Stapczynski, Bloomberg's Asia Energy Team Leader. Plus - China's consumer prices rose slower than expected and factory inflation showed signs of peaking, after a pullback in commodity costs with an easing of tensions over Iran last month. The consumer-price index decelerated to 1% in June from a year earlier, compared with a gain of 1.2% in the previous month, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Thursday. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists was 1.1%. Producer inflation accelerated slightly to 4.1% from a year ago, matching forecasts. On a month-on-month basis, factory prices declined 0.3% from May, their first drop since July 2025. Bloomberg TV hosts Haidi Stroud-Watts and Avril Hong spoke to Robin Xing, Chief China Economist at Morgan Stanley. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.Oil prices rose and Asian stocks were little changed as investors assessed the implications of renewed geopolitical tensions for energy supplies and risk assets. The moves came after US benchmarks fell on Tuesday, with a gauge of chip stocks dropping more than 4%. The Nasdaq 100 slid 1.8%. For more on the market action, we spoke to Paul Dobson, Bloomberg's Executive Editor for Asia Markets.Plus - The US launched airstrikes in Iran and revoked a waiver that allowed it to sell oil globally, further imperiling a peace agreement after a series of attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The US Treasury Department announced it was barring new sales of Iranian oil after July 7, a key incentive intended to get Tehran to abide by a deal that calls for reopening the strait. The American actions marked the most serious threat yet to the interim agreement signed between the two countries' leaders on June 17, and threatened to scuttle negotiations aimed at achieving a permanent peace. Bloomberg TV host Paul Allen spoke to Jessica Genauer, Public Policy Institute Academic Director and Associate Professor in International Relations at the University of New South Wales (UNSW).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Asian equities dropped as technology shares came under renewed selling pressure due to investors rotating into other corners of the market. Chip bellwether Samsung Electronics Co. fell after its results. Samsung Electronics Co.'s quarterly profit surged 19-fold, but failed to impress investors accustomed to eye-catching growth from the suppliers of chips to the global AI boom. We speak to Bloomberg MLIV Strategist Mark Cranfield. Plus - The yen should be as much as 20% stronger than it is — around 130 per dollar, a former top foreign exchange official in Japan said, pushing back against those speculating that the currency might continue its slide.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Chip stocks posted their best quarter ever, extending an extraordinary start to the year driven by insatiable demand for artificial intelligence equipment. But after recent jitters sent the stocks tumbling, investors are wondering how much further the rally can go. "The story of the past six months is the market going all-in on AI infrastructure, but now people are asking if this is sustainable and if we should be worried," said CJ Muse, senior managing director and technology analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index jumped 3.9% on Tuesday to bring its second-quarter gain to 88%, its best quarter ever. It soared 101% in the first half, putting it on track for its best year in its history. In contrast, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index climbed 28% in the second quarter, while the S&P 500 Index rose 15%. It was both of their best quarters since 2020, but the performances were dwarfed by the surge in chip stocks. We speak to Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities. Plus - The yen traded around 162.65 per dollar after falling to a 40-year low this week. The currency's slide to a four-decade low against the dollar left traders eyeing Japan's next intervention threshold. After the currency weakened past the 162 per dollar level on Tuesday, strategists increasingly pointed to 163 and beyond, arguing the Finance Ministry may tolerate a weaker yen than it did in 2024.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. An artificial-intelligence bust, inflation and fiscal stress are among the most alarming threats to global prosperity at present, the Bank for International Settlements warned. In its annual report published on Sunday, the Basel-based institution cited those on a list of "pressure points" that currently "demand attention," with underlying financial vulnerabilities lurking that could amplify any shock. We speak to Oliver Shale, Investment Specialist at Ruffer. Plus - South Korea's Samsung Group and SK Group are poised to announce as much as 2,000 trillion won ($1.3 trillion) of investments over the next decade as part of President Lee Jae Myung's flagship industrial strategy, the Korea Economic Daily reported. The two groups are expected to unveil the package when their leaders present the plans at the presidential office on Monday, the newspaper said, without giving details of where it obtained the information. Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Hynix Inc. are each expected to build four to five semiconductor fabs in the Gwangju area, in the country's southwest, the newspaper said.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Asian stocks hovered near record highs in holiday-thinned trading as optimism that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will restore oil flows and curb inflation pressures buoyed risk appetite. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index was little changed after five straight days of gains, while the chip-heavy Kospi was the top performer in the region, jumping 2.6%. A gauge of the sector in the US surged more than 6% to an all-time high, led by Intel Corp., after President Donald Trump said the company would work with Apple Inc. to design and manufacture semiconductors in the country. We speak to Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities. Plus - The US-Iran interim peace deal took effect and shipping started returning to the Strait of Hormuz as the US declared an end to its blockade and a complex negotiating period over Tehran's nuclear program began in earnest. US Vice President JD Vance told reporters Thursday at the White House that the 60-day clock for working out the contentious details in the so-called memorandum of understanding signed late Wednesday had started ticking. He downplayed concerns Iran could eventually impose tolls on traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a move that would turn the crucial transport chokepoint — widely considered international waters — into a moneymaker for Tehran.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh vowed to restore price stability following his first policy meeting since taking the helm of the US central bank, after officials left interest rates unchanged and signaled growing support for rate hikes this year. "Persistently high prices are a burden for the American people, but the recent past need not be prologue," Warsh said in his debut press conference as chairman. Officials "are unambiguous and unanimous. This committee will deliver price stability." At the same time Warsh played down somewhat the projections from his colleagues showing nine officials foresee at least one quarter-point hike this year, with six anticipating at least two. Another nine expected no move or a cut. We speak to Jeffrey Roach, Chief Economist for LPL Financial..

If you think launching an ETF sounds like a great business, Eric Balchunas is here to explain why it might be the most brutal competitive arena in finance — and which products are actually winning in 2026.Pierre Daillie sits down with Eric Balchunas — Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, co-host of the Trillions podcast, and author of The Bogle Effect — for an unflinching tour of the ETF Terrordome. Eric maps the structural forces that make ETF success so elusive: Vanguard and BlackRock together capturing 60% of all flows, over 2,000 funds trapped below the $50M zombie line, and a liquidation rate that could hit one-in-three. He unpacks his three C's of ETF survival (Cheap, Creative, or Cabernet), breaks down why legacy active managers finally found their footing by lowering fees, and explains the DRAM phenomenon — a memory chip ETF that reached $15 billion in 60 days by solving a real access problem. The conversation moves into Eric's 26 for '26 ETFs to Watch list, covering uranium mining, auto callable ETFs, laddered buffer strategies, and the growing derivative income space. Balchunas also shares his thesis on why the "Vanguard bid" and government backstops have fundamentally changed how markets absorb sell-offs — and why Bogle may be the most underrated behavioral economist in investing history.⏱ Chapters00:00 — Introduction: Welcome to the Terrordome 03:30 — What the Terrordome actually means: fees, distribution, and the Vanguard effect 06:30 — BlackRock vs. Vanguard: the fee war that reshaped an industry 08:00 — The three C's of ETF success: Cheap, Creative, or Cabernet 10:00 — The $100M threshold: zombies, middle class, and breakout hits 13:00 — Active managers finally get it right (Capital Group, JP Morgan, DFA, Avantis) 15:00 — DRAM: the $15B ETF that came out of nowhere 17:00 — BlackRock & Vanguard as the new IBM for advisors 21:00 — Why advisors choose index over active: the blame problem 25:00 — 26 for '26: Eric's ETF Watch List highlights (URNM, CAIE, buffer ETFs) 28:00 — Auto callables, covered calls, and the derivative income boom 31:00 — Mag Seven concentration: Bessembinder, antitrust, and the hoovering of small caps 36:00 — Managed futures, portable alpha, and return stacking 39:00 — The Vanguard bid: why sell-offs don't cascade anymore 41:00 — The Bogle Effect: Jack Bogle as the father of good investor behavior 43:00 — Where to find Eric: Trillions podcast, ETF IQ on Bloomberg TV, X & LinkedIn #ETF #ETFs2026 #EricBalchunas #BloombergIntelligence #ETFInvesting #PassiveInvesting #ActiveETF #Vanguard #BlackRock #IndexFunds #ETFIndustry #Terrordome #TheBogleEffect #CoveredCallETF #BufferETF #AutoCallable #ManagedFutures #PortableAlpha #UraniumETF #DRAM #Trillions #InsightIsCapital #WealthManagement #AdvisorInvesting #InvestmentStrategy #FinancePodcast

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Stocks rallied, oil slumped and the dollar fell after the US and Iran said they had reached a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz will be "opening" on Friday upon the signing of the deal with Iran, President Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda's hospitalization is generating uncertainty among investors over the central bank's messaging at its policy meeting next week, even as they remain convinced officials will raise interest rates. Ueda is expected to miss the BOJ's meeting on June 15-16 and will refrain from casting a vote, but will express his views via a statement. Deputy Governor Ryozo Himino will serve as acting chair while another deputy, Shinichi Uchida, will host a post-meeting press conference. Ueda's absence is unlikely to shift expectations of a hike, but uncertainty is growing among market participants about how clearly Uchida will communicate at the press conference. The BOJ's cautious approach to rate hikes has been weighing on the yen due to the large interest rate differential between the US and Japan.

We had the joy of sitting down with Bill Nye the Science Guy to hear the story behind how he became the person who made Science feel fun, approachable, and even a little bit cool. Long before the bow tie and the TV shows, Bill was a Cornell student taking a transformative class with Carl Sagan, playing Ultimate Frisbee, and discovering how humor and critical thinking could live in the same space. He shares the unexpected turns that led him from Ithaca to becoming a voice that inspired generations, and reflects on what it meant to later receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Huge thanks to Scarlett Fu of Bloomberg TV for helping make this dream conversation happen. It's a reminder that the moments that shape your future often start as ordinary chapters you don't yet realize will matter most.Not sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University

They are either submitted to QTR by their author, reprinted under a Creative Commons license with my best effort to uphold what the license asks, or with the permission of the author. This is not a recommendation to buy or sell any stocks or securities, just my opinions. I often lose money on positions I trade/invest in. I may add any name mentioned in this article and sell any name mentioned in this piece at any time, without further warning. None of this is a solicitation to buy or sell securities. I may or may not own names I write about and are watching. Sometimes I'm bullish without owning things, sometimes I'm bearish and do own things. Just assume my positions could be exactly the opposite of what you think they are just in case. If I'm long I could quickly be short and vice versa. I won't update my positions. All positions can change immediately as soon as I publish this, with or without notice and at any point I can be long, short or neutral on any position. You are on your own. Do not make decisions based on my blog or what my guests say. Nothing is fact checked. I exist on the fringe. Assume any and all numbers in this piece are wrong and make sure you check them yourself. The publisher does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information provided in this page. These are not the opinions of any of my employers, partners, or associates. I did my best to be honest about my disclosures but can't guarantee I am right; I write these posts after a couple beers sometimes. I edit after my posts are published because I'm impatient and lazy, so if you see a typo, check back in a half hour. Also, I just straight up get shit wrong a lot. I mention it twice because it's that important.
