Podcasts about dry powder

[This episode originally aired on December 7, 2023] Today on the show, I have a lively conversation with Ashby Monk, the executive director of the Stanford Research Initiative on Long Term Investing. Ashby studies the inner workings of pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments and foundations —  in short all of those LPs that sit somewhere in between the public and private sectors.“That means that they are optimizing for things that are not entirely evident to just the casual observer,” Ashby says.In this episode of Dry Powder, I ask Ashby to take us inside the $140 trillion universe of long-term investing and help us understand what exactly these organizations are optimizing for.If you'd like to stay up to date with my weekly series on LinkedIn, follow me here.

In today's episode, Jared Weisel, SVP at Revenue Analytics, joins us to break down how PE-backed manufacturing and distribution businesses can use pricing to drive serious EBITDA gains. We dive into why most firms ignore pricing, how to avoid customer churn while raising prices, and why a 3–7% increase can deliver outsized impact. Jared shares the biggest mistakes PE firms make, how to build long-term pricing strategies, and why this lever is the most underutilized tool in the value creation plan.[00:03] Jared explains his role at Revenue Analytics, focusing on pricing strategy for PE-backed manufacturing and distribution firms.[00:29] Discusses pricing as a lever for EBITDA improvement with minimal customer loss.[00:58] Pricing is often underused; Jared emphasizes using data to drive targeted decisions and compliance.[01:54] PE firms overlook pricing in VCPs, relying on cost-cutting. Jared argues for ongoing pricing strategies, not one-time actions.[03:44] Sales reps often quote inconsistently due to lack of tools. Structure and guardrails lead to better pricing outcomes.[05:02] Visibility is key—track changes, product mix shifts, and enforce compliance to prevent leakage.[06:25] Raw Selection offers salary reports via YouTube—useful for benchmarking comp in PE and portfolio roles.[06:54] Jared warns that pricing based on gut feel or fear of customer loss leads to missed value. Start with the pain.[09:47] Jared outlines pricing plays across the investment lifecycle—diligence, early wins, long-term optimization, and positioning for exit.[12:12] A 3–7% price increase typically sees no customer churn—if done surgically, not blanket increases.[14:01] Recommends Pricing Brew, Professional Pricing Society, and books like Revenue Management and Pricing: The New CEO Imperative.[16:28] CEOs hesitant on pricing should compare pricing impact vs. other ops improvements—pricing wins big.[18:21] Jared's recommendations: Bain's Dry Powder, Adam Coffey's Private Equity Playbook, Dan Cremons' Winning Moves.[19:39] Contact Jared at jwiesel@revenueanalytics.com or on LinkedIn.[20:36] Alex thanks Jared for the focused and actionable conversation on pricing.Connect with Jared Wiesel on LinkedIn.

When you look at historical volatility, when it starts to whiplash like this, it gets more and more severe—so the big question is, are you ready for that?In this episode, Hans and Brian talk with Scott Osborne about navigating market volatility and developing strategies to protect your assets during economic uncertainty. Scott shares insights on how to approach market fluctuations with discipline and why having access to "dry powder" through infinite banking can be crucial during market downturns.The conversation explores the recent sharp market volatility triggered by tariff announcements and the subsequent recovery. Are you prepared for increasing market whiplash effects that historically become more severe once they begin?This discussion provides practical advice for both accumulation and distribution phases of wealth management, showing how the right financial structure can help you weather volatility and potentially capitalize on it with strategic positioning.Disciplined Long-Term Strategy: Trying to time market tops and bottoms is a losing strategy, with data showing that missing just the 10 best market days over 30 years can cut returns in half. The focus should be on maintaining a disciplined approach to investing rather than making emotional decisions.Financial Flexibility Advantage: Having accessible capital during market downturns creates opportunities. Infinite banking and cash value life insurance provide guaranteed access to funds without bank approval or concern about interest rate fluctuations.Retirement Protection Framework: Retirees can shield themselves during market volatility by creating a 3-5 year buffer of guaranteed income. Bond laddering offers an alternative approach for those who don't use infinite banking.Strategic Tax Opportunities: Market downturns create prime conditions for tax-loss harvesting and Roth conversions, potentially saving significant money on taxes while repositioning assets for future growth.▶️ Chapters:00:00 - Introduction and Market Volatility Preview03:00 - Emotional vs. Data-Driven Investing 06:00 - Historical Market Performance After Downturns09:00 - Statistics on Missing the Market's Best Days 12:00 - Accessing Capital During Market Dips17:00 - Tuning Out Market Noise and Following Your Plan22:00 - Home Equity Loans vs. Policy Loans 27:00 - Sequence of Returns Risk in Retirement 32:00 - Creating a Retirement Income Strategy 38:00 - Current Market Anomalies and Macroeconomic Shifts44:00 - Bond Strategies for Retirement Planning51:00 - Final Thoughts on Controlling What You CanVisit Patriot Wealth Planners and learn how to protect your wealth while maximizing growth potential!Got Questions?

When today's guest was on this program last back in December, he predicted the following:1. That a contraction in global liquidity could set the stage for severe market corrections and increased volatility -- check2. That stocks would peak early in 2025, and then experience a 15-20% correction -- check3. That new U.S. trade tariffs could lead to retaliatory measures from trading partners, triggering a global trade war -- check, especially in regards to ChinaSo far he's 3 for 3.He also recommended that investors start 2025 defensively, reducing equity exposure, avoiding long-duration bonds, and instead load up on T-bills and gold.Again, this was a winning combination. So who is this prescient forecaster?None other than Felix Zulauf, Founder and CEO, Zulauf Consulting.He usually only does public interviews once a year, but given the recent market turbulence, he has decided to return early to help investors make sense of what's most likely to happen next from here.We're extremely fortunate -- and grateful -- that he has selected Thoughtful Money as one of the few platforms he's granting an interview to this week.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

Private equity is making moves in the legal industry, and Crispin Passmore has a message for firms that think they can ignore it: adapt or risk getting left behind.   Chris Batz and Howard Rosenberg sit down with Crispin, the co-founder of Stratify and a former U.K. regulator turned law firm consultant, to talk about what's happening on both sides of the Atlantic. Why has the U.K. embraced alternative business structures while the U.S. continues to resist change? Is the legal industry really evolving, or does it just feel that way to those pushing for reform? Crispin shares his perspective on where things stand, why some firms feel no urgency, and what's fueling the momentum in places like Arizona.   Crispin also dives into what private equity sees in the legal sector: why investors are drawn to it, how they're already involved, and what it means for firms that want to stay competitive. But money alone won't solve the industry's biggest challenges. Governance structures are outdated. Succession planning is a mess. Many firms still operate as if the market hasn't changed in decades. Crispin explains why those who are looking outward, not inward, will have the biggest advantage in the years ahead.   Change may feel slow, but as Crispin puts it, revolutions rarely happen overnight. When the shift picks up speed, will firms be ready?   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction to Private Equity in Legal Industry 03:04 Comparison of U.K. and U.S. Legal Market Liberalization 05:50 Success of ABS in the U.K. 08:02 U.S. States Experimenting with Legal Market Liberalization 11:45 Structuring National Practices from Arizona ABS 14:55 Vulnerability of Law Firms to Market Changes 16:45 Private Equity Interest in Legal Market 19:06 Alternative Ways for Private Equity to Enter U.S. Legal Market 21:15 Challenges of Private Equity in Traditional Law Firms 25:13 Changing Dynamics in Law Firms with Private Equity 29:02 Future of U.S. Law Firms with ABS in the U.K. 33:35 Effective Use of Raised Capital by Law Firms 35:17 IPOs vs. Private Markets for Law Firms   Links Connect with Crispin Passmore: Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/crispin-passmore/ Firm Website Bio: https://www.passmoreconsulting.co.uk/about-me   Connect with Howard Rosenberg: LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hrosenberg/ Company web profile: https://www.baretzbrunelle.com/howard-rosenberg   Connect with Chris Batz: LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisbatz/  LinkedIn Company page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/columbus-street/ Columbus Street website: https://www.columbus-street.com/  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Today on Dry Powder, we're sharing a live recording from this year's NEXUS conference in Orlando, Florida. My guest is Brian Bernasek, Co-Head of Americas Corporate Private Equity at Carlyle. We had a wide-ranging discussion about his market outlook for 2025, how he thinks about sector expertise at scale, the rising cost of alpha, and, of course, AI. Our conversation touches on many of the key themes in Bain's Global Private Equity Report, which we've linked to below, but Brian is one of those rare investors who can actually bring these themes to life. Read Bain's 2025 Global Private Equity Report, here.

George Schultze looks at inflation risks and the unemployment rate as the Fed signals it will keep rates higher for longer. He points out political volatility roiling the markets, especially around government funding. He recommends a more cautious approach, keeping cash as “dry powder” and focusing on short selling opportunities. His stock picks include Vistra Energy (VST). ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In episode 8, Julie talks to Ignacio Jayanti, CEO of private equity firm Corsair Capital, which spun out of J.P. Morgan Chase in 2006. Before that, Jayanti had been on the investment team of the predecessor Corsair funds and managed the operations of the business for almost a decade. Jayanti covers a lot of ground in this conversation, including how the model of private equity buyouts that took shape from about 2000 to 2021 depended on a growing number of potential PE acquirers for companies and a never-flagging IPO market where PE could cash in on investments. But he thinks that IPOs will remain “subdued” and that sweeping changes in the public markets since the early days of PE have added a lot of volatility and risk to this exit strategy. Private equity firms can no longer count on selling their companies to competitors either. That bit was founded on cheap money and constant deal making, says Jayanti. Money is no longer cheap — and deals have slowed dramatically. In particular, tune in to hear Jayanti's view of all that dry powder — commitments from investors — that has accumulated at private equity firms. That will “reach its end of life…  some time over the next three years,” he says. The industry must be watching and trying to forecast what investors will do at that point. They have every right to walk away from unfunded commitments. And if they do the industry will contract dramatically. “I'm just highlighting the fact that there's a very long cycle and rhythm to this market of fundraising and deployment and exiting, which has been very significantly affected to the point where there could be a period of time where the next upturn is actually quite a bit further away in terms of aggregate market size. Ignacio touches on plenty of other topics as well, including a nuanced discussion about due diligence that you may not have heard before and the transformation that secondaries could kick off (in a good way.) Thanks for listening. And let me know what you think, what questions I didn't ask, and when I should have pressed for more. My email is open: jsegal@institutionalinvestor.com.

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 Notes00:38 Introduction to the Going Public Series and award-winning Wall Street Analyst, Glenn Schorr01:54 Glenn's Career Journey03:08 The Early Days of Alts Managers Going Public03:26 Skepticism and Challenges in Going Public04:06 Investor Skepticism and Challenges07:00 Transformation and Tipping Points09:03 Structural Tailwinds and Market Trends10:57 The Decision to Go Public vs. Staying Private12:39 Ambition and Vision in Asset Management14:51 The Distribution vs. Manufacturing Debate17:03 Lessons from Traditional Asset Management18:55 Discipline and Growth in the Alts Market20:03 The Future of Public and Private Markets20:50 The Role of Distribution in Asset Management21:59 Success Stories and Acquisition Strategies23:02 Manufacturing Competency vs. Acquisitions24:40 The Rise of Private Markets26:07 How Alternative Managers Make Money27:02 Valuation Factors for Alternative Managers28:44 Profitability and Margins in Asset Management29:23 Building a Business: Costs and Competitive Advantages29:50 The Moat of Success in Business30:15 Challenges for Traditional Asset Managers30:56 The Importance of Vision and Technology31:22 Scaling a Business with Proven Success31:40 Insurance Asset Management: Strategic Moves and Structural Advantages32:17 Structural Advantages in Asset Management33:05 The Rise of Private Credit Managers34:43 The Impact of Interest Rates on Private Credit Managers35:32 Navigating Rate Sensitivity in Capital Markets38:25 Deployment and Monetization in Asset Management39:08 The Challenge of Dry Powder in Private Equity41:14 The Role of Deployment in Investment Success41:46 The Resilience of Publicly Traded Alts Managers43:26 Spotlight on Blackstone's Growth and Innovation46:38 KKR's Global Expansion and Innovation48:41 Apollo's Market Leadership and Challenges50:11 Blue Owl's Strategic Investments and Challenges53:56 TPG's Public Transition and Growth55:11 Carlyle's Progress and Future Challenges56:11 Looking Ahead: Key Trends and ExpectationsDisclosuresEvercore ISIGlenn SchorrCompany Coverage and DisclosuresTicker      CompanyAPO         Apollo Global Management, Inc.BAC         Bank of America CorporationGlenn Schorr holds a long position in equity securities of Bank of America Corporation.BK            Bank of New York Mellon Corp.Glenn Schorr holds a long position in equity securities of Bank of New York Mellon Corp.BLK          BlackRock, Inc.Glenn Schorr holds a long position in equity securities of BlackRock Inc.BX            Blackstone, Inc.Blackstone, Inc. is a client of Evercore LLC, and Evercore LLC has provided investment banking services to Blackstone, Inc. in the last 12 months.Evercore ISI or an affiliate expects to receive or intends to seek compensation for investment banking services from Blackstone, Inc. within the next three months.An employee, employee's immediate family member, director or consultant of Evercore ISI or one of its affiliates (but not the covering research analyst or a member of the covering re advisory board member of Blackstone, Inc..Evercore ISI or an affiliate has received compensation from Blackstone, Inc. for investment banking services in the last 12 months.Analyst has a financial interest in a private equity fund managed by Blackstone, Inc.Glenn Schorr holds a long position in equity securities of Blackstone, Inc.OWL         Blue Owl Capital, Inc.Evercore ISI or an affiliate has acted as a manager or co-manager of a public offering of securities by Blue Owl Capital, Inc in the last 12 months.Blue Owl Capital, Inc is a client of Evercore LLC, and Evercore LLC has provided investment banking services to Blue Owl Capital, Inc in the last 12 months.Evercore ISI or an affiliate has received compensation from Blue Owl Capital, Inc for investment banking services in the last 12 months.BSIG        BrightSphere InvestmentC               Citigroup, Inc.An employee, employee's immediate family member, director or consultant of Evercore ISI or one of its affiliates (but not the covering research analyst or a member of the covering re advisory board member of Citigroup, Inc.Glenn Schorr holds a long position in equity securities of Citigroup, Inc.BEN          Franklin Resources, Inc.Glenn Schorr holds a long position in equity securities of Franklin Resources, Inc.GS            Goldman Sachs Group Inc.IVZ           Invesco Ltd.JPM        &nb...

Engine troubles and financial crisis have pushed Go First airline to a point-of-no-return. Its sole potential buyer, Jindal Powers Ltd, has backed out of bidding for the grounded airline. The budget carrier looks all set to follow 12 other airlines which have flown into obscurity in the last ten years. Foreign shores too are no less ominous for airlines. But why do so many promising airlines go bust?  Notwithstanding some airline busts, India has become the third-largest domestic aviation market in the world. Boeing recently announced that it will set up its largest facility outside the US in Bengaluru. Another US giant, Apple, too has emerged as the face for foreign manufacturing in India. Clearly, India is aggressively pitching itself as an Asian alternative to Chinese manufacturing. But while it has come a long way, India clearly has a long road to cover?  Let us now see what is happening in the world of digital currencies. Bitcoin has more-than-doubled investor money so far in 2023. However, it is expected to witness the famous ‘Halving Event' in April 2024, where the value of the currency nearly halves but sees multi-fold rise in months ahead. So, will Bitcoin be able to hold on to its dream run in 2024?  After plowing billions of dollars into the cryptocurrency market, venture capitalists are believed to be sitting on dry powder, waiting for the right time. They have turned circumspect on startups too. But exactly what is dry powder? Listen to this episode of the podcast for answers. 

Today on the show, I have a lively conversation with Ashby Monk, the executive director of the Stanford Research Initiative on Long Term Investing. Ashby studies the inner workings of pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments and foundations —  in short all of those LPs that sit somewhere in between the public and private sectors.“That means that they are optimizing for things that are not entirely evident to just the casual observer,” Ashby says.In this episode of Dry Powder, I ask Ashby to take us inside the $140 trillion universe of long-term investing and help us understand what exactly these organizations are optimizing for.If you'd like to stay up to date with my weekly series on LinkedIn, follow me here.

On this week's episode, Mark looks at the financial condition of the government and of American citizens on the cusp of the next recession. The financial condition of the United States Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the American citizenry is weak; debt is high and rising, and this is very worrisome in an economic environment of rising interest rates and a weakening global economy.

In Europe and around the world, rising interest rates and falling valuations are impacting many commercial property sectors still reeling from the aftereffects of the pandemic, as well as secular changes in the way occupiers use real estate. Shrewd investment managers can help identify which assets, on a case-by-case basis, can result in the greatest returns and which property sectors are likely to pose the lowest risk going forward. In this episode, Marc Fuhrmann, principal and head of real estate of Arrow Global, returns to speak with Jonathan Brasse, editor-in-chief, real estate at PEI Group, about trends in the ever-changing private equity real estate markets.

On the previous episode of Dry Powder, Ian Charles, managing partner at Arctos Sports Partners, took us inside his approach to sports investing. It was a master class in sector specialization and value creation that you don't want to miss, but Ian has always tended to go after nonobvious opportunities.“I grew up in a small town in Alaska,” he says. “One of the things that you always heard as a kid was if you go out on the frozen lake, make sure you're not around too many of your friends. It's actually safer to be all alone.”Today on the show, I ask Ian how he helped bring about a series of innovations in the secondaries market at Arctos, which launched a new strategy this week expanding into broader private markets. We'll reflect on the creative transaction structures that have made secondaries more accessible and efficient.I've also started a series of weekly posts on LinkedIn, which you can follow here.

Renmac discuss why our elevated yield impact model and seasonality favors keeping some dry powder, but not the same type found in the White House this week. How cocaine-gate is overshadowing the “Bidenomics” push? Why the latest payroll print shows no signs of recession and is unlikely to prevent the Fed from hiking two more times this year? All in today's episode.

What did Mary Ann and Natasha and Alex dive into? Here's the rundown:A quick update on TikTok: The CEO of the popular social media service went before Congress today. It was a pretty darn hostile meeting. Alex caught a chunk of it live, and also has a few thoughts on the matter.From there it was time for our 'deals of the week' section, which today included Duolingo's new music product, a new DAO fund, and the latest eToro investment.Then it was time to talk payroll. We started with the Rippling deal to raise $500 million during the SVB crisis, and then discussed the larger HR tech space, which is both bigger and valuable than we realized.We closed with AI. So, so much AI. Everyone and their least favored parental unit is building a large language model, and TechCrunch is busy covering in all their glory, or lack thereof.Whew! What a week. The show is back Monday morning. We'll see you there.For episode transcripts and more, head to Equity's Simplecast website. Equity drops at 7:00 a.m. PT every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.

After more than a decade of near zero interest rates, it is now possible to earn some income from cash and short-term investments. But where should you park your cash? There are many options from bank accounts to money market funds to bonds. Each come with their own benefits, risks and quirks. But why we would even hold cash? And what makes 2023 a potentially lucrative environment for short-term investments? And in today's Dumb Question of the Week: What is a bank? Get in touch

Behind the scenes at Davos, attendees were coming to terms with a fracturing world, a cascade of risks and, despite it all, a silver lining.Today on Dry Powder, Karen Harris, managing director of Bain's Macro Trends Group, shares her key insights from Davos and how private equity investors are dealing with the emergent risks and opportunities of a multipolar world.Listen to her previous appearances on Dry Powder, below:Macro Risks: Everything, Everywhere, All at Once Macro Risks: Keep It Simple

Here's what Natasha got into now that she's back in The Bay:Big tech: Real quick, you should know that Elliott Management took a multi-billion stake in Salesforce, while Thoma Bravo scooped up a digital forensics company for $1.34 billion. Beyond that, the big tech news this week is Microsoft's multi-billion dollar, multi-year investment in Open AI. The extended partnership comes with lots of resources, quirks and legal headaches. Big idea: we're still thinking about this Anna Heim analysis, "The mirage of dry powder."  Natasha talks about wet capital and failed capital calls, as to contextualize (not shut down!) some of the optimism in the market right now. (Use code "EQUITY" for 50% an annual TC+ membership).Big innovation (or in this case, reductions): Google's in-house incubator, Area 120, was severely impacted by Alphabet layoffs and Spotify cut 6% of staff, two layoff stories that had us thinking all about the fact that tech seems to have forgotten its umbrella.

Tom welcomes a new and yet well-known guest, Grant Williams, to the show. Grant discusses how being flexible in mindset is important as in the world of social media, people can be quite dogmatic. Admitting your mistakes is key, as everyone is just trying to figure out the future. He is quite cautious about giving actionable advice because people may not understand how he came to his conclusions. Helping people come to their own decisions is better than simply telling people what to do. Jim Cramer is an example of someone who spews nonsense and provides generally bad advice every day. Everyone and everything today is at risk in these volatile times. People need to be aware. Things are changing and government's may intervene in ways that benefit them at your expense. There are plenty of pensions around the West that are carefully re-evaluating their risks given what happened in the United Kingdom. Many of these are vulnerable because they have taken on more risks to find returns. Grant discusses the importance of having a plan for positioning and exiting in markets, and why it's crucial to avoid emotion. The hubris of Fed officials is remarkable, and the fact they've raised interest rates four times demonstrates just how bad a job they've been doing. Gold is not completely safe from confiscation, but there are always places in the world where it will be used. Bitcoin is likely to be directly competing with Central Bank Digital Currencies at some point, and that may entail additional risks.

During that time, he's lived and worked in seven major financial centers from London to Sydney, building the kind of network that many others can only dream about. He began his career in the Japanese equity market in the mid-1980s, before a three-year posting to Tokyo ensured he had a ringside seat as the twin bubbles in equities and real estate burst simultaneously and spectacularly at the end of 1989. After a short stint back in London, Grant relocated once again, this time to New York, where he spent 7 years. Subsequent postings have taken him to Hong Kong, Sydney, Singapore, and the Cayman Islands. Currently, he is a senior advisor to Matterhorn Asset Management AG in Switzerland, and a portfolio and strategy advisor to Vulpes Investment Management in Singapore. Back in 2014, Grant's ambition to bring the most intelligent, engaging, and original people in finance to a wider audience led him to co-found Real Vision, an on-demand internet-based financial media platform. Grant's twin Real Vision interview series, In Conversation With… and On The Road, raised the bar for financial content – engaging and educating viewers in equal measure and helping them learn the secrets behind a group of extraordinary investors' success.
