Podcasts about institutional investment

Dr. David Mieczkowski of AgAmerica discusses trade impacts, farmland investing, ag lending trends, and the future of U.S. farming in a changing economic and demographic landscape.

In this episode, we speak with Jenny Harbord, Head of Real Assets at LCP to explore the UK affordable housing market and why institutional investors are increasingly drawn to this sector. For our Views from the Boardroom section, Jacob speaks to Sarah Smart (Chair at TPR) to talk about the challenges and opportunities facing the pension scheme industry.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Amir Baluch, a semi-retired anesthesiologist and founder of Blue Capital Partners, about alternative investment strategies for healthcare providers. Dr. Baluch shares insights on creating passive income streams, the importance of diversification beyond traditional stocks and bonds, and how strategic investments can "buy back time" for busy practitioners. While much of his financial advice offers valuable perspective for healthcare providers looking to reduce clinical hours and focus more on business development, we also provide important context regarding his comments on real estate investment and political policies that may contradict current research on housing affordability and economic impacts. Episode Highlights: The Power of Passive Income: How investing in alternative assets can create freedom in your schedule and reduce dependence on clinical hours Diversification Strategy: Why relying solely on traditional investments like stocks may not provide adequate returns in the coming decade Risk-Adjusted Returns: Understanding how to evaluate investments beyond just the stated return percentage Time vs. Money: Creating a strategic plan to gradually reduce clinical hours through passive income Marketing vs. Sales: The critical differences between creating awareness and converting leads Building a Sellable Practice: The importance of treating your practice like a business that could someday be sold Producer's Notes: Two topics discussed in this episode warrant additional context: Single-Family Home Investments: Institutional investor ownership of single-family homes has grown significantly, with just 32 institutional investors collectively owning 450,000 single-family homes by 2022. Research indicates non-individual investor ownership of single-family rentals increased from 17% in 2001 to 25% in 2021, with projections suggesting institutional investors could control 40% of U.S. single-family rental homes by 2030. This trend is contributing to the housing affordability crisis in many markets. Policy Impacts: Despite Dr. Baluch's enthusiasm about certain administration policies, current evidence suggests recent tariffs, immigration policies, and cuts to housing programs are adversely affecting housing affordability. Housing experts note that deportation plans could severely impact the construction industry, as immigrants make up approximately 30% of the construction labor force at a time when the National Association of Home Builders projects a need for 2.2 million new skilled construction workers.

Notable Quotes: "If you diversify across enough asset classes, you could reduce your risk by 80% and still get the same returns." - Dr. Amir Baluch "When people don't write it down on a piece of paper, it never happens. They throw money here and there and a couple of investments. But at the end of the year, okay, how much time did that buy you back?" - Dr. Amir Baluch "Just imagine every dollar bill you have is a little soldier. You just want to put it to work out there." - Dr. Amir Baluch "If you're not measuring it, it doesn't get managed." - Dr. Amir Baluch "I think that's the key. Take your time and energy so that you can work on the business instead of being in it all the time." - Host Bio: Dr. Amir Baluch is a Wall Street Journal and international bestselling author who retired from anesthesiology in his early 40s to focus on transforming wealth management for healthcare professionals. After experiencing his father's bankruptcy and personal setbacks in 2001, he developed alternative investment strategies that have since helped numerous medical professionals achieve financial independence. As founder of Blue Capital Partners, Dr. Baluch manages over $700M in projects, specializing in creating passive income through real estate, private equity, and private credit investments. His expertise has been featured on ABC News, Business Insider, and Forbes.

In this episode of Critical Thinking, Jo Holden, Global Head of Investment Research and Advisory at Mercer, is joined by Leslie Maasdorp, CEO at British International Investment (BII) and Matt Robinson, Head of Private Capital Mobilisation at BII, to explore the world of development finance institutions (DFIs), capital mobilisation, and how DFIs can open up new investment opportunities for institutional investors in emerging markets and developing markets (EMDEs).Investment flows into EMDEs remain far below the levels needed to support development and combat climate change. The Independent High-Level Expert Group (IHLEG) on Climate Finance estimates that these countries, excluding China, will require $1 trillion annually by 2030, rising to $1.3 trillion by 2035. While these regions offer diversification benefits and strong impact potential, global investors often perceive them as too high risk, with current flows only just surpassing $100 billion annually. Bridging this gap will require a strategic blend of public and private investment.Key takeaways include:What is meant by mobilisation and why it matters: Mobilisation refers to attracting and effectively deploying private capital alongside DFIs to increase investment in markets that typically do not meet institutional investors' risk/return profiles. Mobilisation is essential in scaling climate action within EMDEs, where climate change effects are most severe. This need for partnership was underscored by the UK Prime Minister's announcement of a £100 million Mobilisation Facility, managed by BII, to facilitate private investment in EMDEs. With EDME's expected to play a crucial role in global economic growth, investing in these markets creates investment opportunities for growth, diversification and impact.How this facility addresses some of the challenges investors face when considering investment in these markets: As BII's first concessional mandate that offers derisking opportunity for third-party investors, the facility plays a critical role in bridging the 'relative value gap' between institutional investors' risk appetite and the risk profile of BII's portfolio. By offering significant risk mitigation, it encourages greater investor participation-essential for achieving climate impact at scale. A key feature of the facility is its high-risk tolerance- with BII's capital able to absorb potential capital erosion, reducing downside risks for institutional investors.The type of risks that this facility will help mitigate and the investments this will open up to institutional investors: BII will accept below-market returns to boost private investor returns or provide credit enhancements through guarantees or insurance, helping to de-risk investments without distorting the underlying market. This will enable institutional investors to test, seed, and scale climate-focused technologies, businesses, and investment strategies with transformational impact across Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean.This content is for institutional investors and for information purposes only.

It's a foggy May morning in Beaufort, 150kms west of Melbourne. We grab a coffee and head towards the first of the latest properties that the team at Go.FARM was acquired only a few months earlier, getting a better understanding of the Agronomist who spent his childhood not too far down the highway. As we tour the property, we quickly pull over, Liam jumps out and 'throws off the city boots' and begins picking up a few stray pieces of timber and baling twine. Evidence that the little things matter in the big picture. Liam started his career as an Agronomist and has since made a considerable impact. He shares the opportunity to be in the room and learn from the great Jim Collins and the miles he'd travel early in his career to pursue both a personal life and a professional life.When it was evident that the opportunity to be part of the family farm wasn't there, Liam pursued his interests and sought to become a farmer slightly differently. It's fair to say he's creating his own luck. "the origin of GoFarm is under-utilised and under-capitalised assets scattered across the landscape, ultimately to no one's benefit. And if we can find the best of those and turn them around, we can generate great investment returns, but we can also generate a lot of good."The role of agriculture in transforming Australian society and economyThe impact of institutional investment on the agriculture sectorThe importance of responsible agriculture and its impact on communities and the economyThe significance of courage and urgency in business and career decisionsThe culture of high-performing teams and their role in driving agricultural innovation and growthChapters00:00 Introduction to Hanna Go Farm and the Agriculture Industry19:37 The Impact of Institutional Investment on Agriculture28:11 Responsible Agriculture and Sustainable Communities37:22 The Role of Courage and Urgency in Business42:04 The Future of Agriculture: Trends and Opportunities

On this episode of Women And Manufacturing host Lydia Di Liello welcomes Ivana Bertuzzelli, Vice President of Portfolio Analytics at Intech Investment Management. Ivana invites us all to “sit back and enjoy the show” as she explains the complex world of investment management.

Today Ryan Pallotta is talking with a very special guest, Prometheus Founder and CEO Michael Wang. Mike's an award-winning hedge fund veteran. An alum of Steve Cohen's legendary SAC Capital, Wang contributed to Tourbillon Capital Partners' early success before winning accolades as Cypress Funds' portfolio manager and co-managing partner. Mike created Prometheus around his strong belief that everyone should have access to information and investment opportunities that, historically, have only been accessible to a select few.  This amazing podcast covers a lot of ground. Mike begins by describing the nascent trend of fund managers creating content to grow their audience and raise capital at scale and how he created Prometheus to develop this phenomenon.    He talks about the limited credibility and utility of information shared on the subreddit WallStBets, and why people are waking up to the fact that investing success isn't nearly as easy as they may have initially thought. Mike later explains why the financial conditions we've enjoyed in recent times won't be returning for some time and why exposure to alternatives will be the key to investors protecting and growing their wealth in the months and years ahead.

Location: Los Angeles Date: Friday 4th February Company: Swan Bitcoin Role: Head of Institutional Investment As with all assets and commodities, a myriad of financial instruments have been developed around Bitcoin. The riskier end of the spectrum are opportunities to take levered positions. These positions can produce stellar returns, providing opportunities for those who feel like they've missed out on previous bull runs, or have the appetite to try and continue to outplay the market. If only it were that simple. Stating leverage involves risk is a massive understatement. You. Can. Lose. Everything. Liquidation is a brutal experience. The issue regarding Bitcoin is that liquidation of open levered positions is inevitable and rapid due to the volatility. There are numerous stories of markets turning suddenly in unexpected directions, and exchanges being unable to deal with the associated demand to add collateral to open positions. Then there are flash crashes which occur too quickly for anyone to be able to respond. Fairness doesn't come into the algorithms used to close positions and action liquidations. Rekt is a term used too often. A simple mistake can undo years of hard work. Staking sats, hodling, and staying humble are the tried and tested ways of maximizing the opportunities provided by Bitcoin. Developing the discipline of having a long time preference is a cathartic experience. In this interview, I talk to Andy Edstrom, author of Why Buy Bitcoin and Head of Institutional Investment at Swan Bitcoin. We discuss experiences of getting rekt, applying good leverage, the waves of Bitcoin adoption, playing offence on Bitcoin's ESG credentials, and investing in Bitcoin for time and freedom.

The first Bitcoin futures exchange-traded fund made its debut on Wall Street just a little over a fortnight ago. Six days later, Mastercard partnered with digital asset management company Bakkt to bring cryptocurrencies into its network. As increasing numbers of mainstream finance sector businesses enter the crypto space, digital assets are reaching a level of maturity that's defying the predictions of their critics.“Blockchain, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are no longer some young, innovative technology,” Blockdata co-founder and managing director Jonathon Knegtel said in a video interview with Forkast.News. “It's almost a teenager.” Moves by traditional finance sector players such as banks to integrate crypto with their existing products and services are giving the digital asset industry the momentum it needs to achieve critical mass in the mainstream, Knegtel explained.“[Mastercard and Bakkt's partnership is] making it a lot easier for people to actually enter the ecosystem and partake,” he said. “Because more users are coming in, the value goes up, and then the value gets circulated inside, and people start funding each other. And that's the stage we're at now.” Amid all this, crypto banks are emerging to further disrupt the banking system. These crypto banks — and digital asset businesses — resemble “challenger” banks such as PayPal and Revolut, providing crypto-focused financial services such as borrowing, lending and saving. If the previous wave of finance industry disruption was brought on by challenger banks, crypto banks appear to represent the next one. “Challenger banks definitely introduced the concept, but that means it's a lower jump for them to then jump to the next point and be exposed to crypto,” Knegtel said.The crypto space has seen major growth in 2021. In the third quarter, blockchain companies raised US$6.5 billion, a 30% increase from the previous quarter, according to Blockdata. Half of the 20 biggest venture capital firms now have exposure to crypto exchanges, and institutional decentralized finance is expected to become a US$1 trillion industry.The growth in the capital involved comes as blockchain companies reach critical mass and require larger fundraising rounds, which Knegtel believes is a sign that the crypto space is reaching maturity, although he also points out that the growth of the DeFi space remains minuscule compared to traditional finance.“US$1 trillion is just 1% of the assets under management of the top 100 banks in the world,” he said. “One percent as a part of an asset diversification strategy in 2021 is not that much. And that alone would bring another US$1 trillion.”Watch Knegtel's full interview with Forkast.News Editor-in-Chief Angie Lau to learn more about crypto banks' disruptive effects on the banking system, how regulation can propel the crypto space into maturity, how DeFi may challenge centralized crypto banks, and the risks behind the burgeoning market for non-fungible tokens.

Location: Remotely Date: Thursday 23rd September Company: Validus Power Corp, Swan Bitcoin Role: Bitcoin Strategist, Head of Institutional Investment Over the last week, markets worldwide were hit hard as fears continue to grow over the liquidity of Chinese property behemoth Evergrande. The S&P, Dow Jones and Nasdaq all suffered their worst days in months. Evergrande is China's second-largest and the world's most indebted real estate developer. It expanded rapidly by borrowing more than $300 billion. however, when new rules were introduced to control the amount owed by big large estate developers, Evergrande was forced to sell properties at a significant discount and is now struggling to pay its debts. In 2008, the Great Financial Crisis began with an insolvent institution which precipitated a credit panic across the global banking system. When markets are saturated with debt, a single event can turn into a contagion. Will Evergrande spark another financial meltdown, or will it prove to be too big to fail? In this interview, I talk to the Head of Institutional Investment at Swan Bitcoin and Bitcoin Strategist Greg Foss. We discuss the Evergrande insolvency, whether a debt crisis is looming, and why Bitcoin is the perfect hedge.

Ric Edelman is the founder of the nation's largest independent RIA, with 350 advisors in 170 offices nationwide, managing $230 billion for 1.2 million individuals and households. The firm is also the nation's largest independent provider of advice to 401(k) plans, serving thousands of companies, including 150 of the Fortune 500. Advisors are obligated to look into the future for opportunities and challenges. This now includes the emergence of crypto and digital asset, including Bitcoin. Bitcoin has been the top-performing asset class of the last 1-, 5- and 10-year period, but due to its newness, skepticism is understandable. RIA Digital Assets was set up to help advisors and consumers become more comfortable with this revolutionary technology. Ultimately, a 1% asset allocation of Bitcoin is recommended. ————————————————————————— To learn more about this episode, including podcast transcripts and show notes, visit *salt.org/talks* ( http://salt.org/talks ) Moderated by Anthony Scaramucci.

(Featuring Christopher Muoio, Vice President, Data and Research, Madison International Realty) The COVID-19 pandemic has wrought massive shifts in behavior, as social distancing and other public health protocols have reshaped our daily lives. What does this mean for institutional investment in the office sector after COVID? https://www.afire.org/podcast/institutional-investment-office-sector/ A wide-scale embrace of remote work and decentralized labor forces will have significant ramifications on the future demand for office space across the US. However, these narratives have been counterbalanced by companies such as Amazon and Facebook leasing additional office space in recent months, as they envision a future return to normalcy once the pandemic has subsided. Given the potential impact remote work could have on office space demand and investments, determining its true scale is paramount. If remote work set-ups were not having negative impacts on company operations, and were viewed favorably by executives, then such impacts and views would need to be accounted for in the investment process and market selection—at least in the near- to medium-term. In this podcast, Christopher Muoio, Vice President, Data and Research of Madison International Realty, talks about how his group used both traditional and alternative data analysis to get at the heart of the current remote work environment and the outlook for institutional investment in the office sector after COVID?

Location: Remotely Date: Thursday 10th December Company: Swan Bitcoin Role: Head of Institutional Investment When MicroStrategy acquired $425 million of Bitcoin earlier this year, it sent a clear message to corporations everywhere, that Bitcoin is a valuable asset and can be a vital part of a company's treasury. With an asset as volatile as Bitcoin, this move wasn't without its risks, however, just a few months after piling into Bitcoin, that $425 million is now worth around $750 million.  Now just a few months after first buying Bitcoin, company CEO, Micael Saylor is not happy with the company's 40,824 Bitcoin and now has plans to raise another $550 million to buy more.

“This is the one asset in modern history, where average people have had a shot at it before companies and before hedge funds and before billionaires… that window may be ending.”— Andy EdstromLocation: RemotelyDate: Thursday 10th DecemberCompany: Swan BitcoinRole: Head of Institutional InvestmentWhen MicroStrategy acquired $425 million of Bitcoin earlier this year, it sent a clear message to corporations everywhere, that Bitcoin is a valuable asset and can be a vital part of a company's treasury.With an asset as volatile as Bitcoin, this move wasn't without its risks, however, just a few months after piling into Bitcoin, that $425 million is now worth around $750 million. Now just a few months after first buying Bitcoin, company CEO, Micael Saylor is not happy with the company's 40,824 Bitcoin and now has plans to raise another $550 million to buy more.In this interview, I talk to Andy Edstrom, the Head of Institutional Investment at Swan Bitcoin.

The flight-to-safety, dumb money and real estate I had a great chat about Family Office, Private Equity and Institutional Investment in real estate in the current environment with Rebekah Tobias, leading investment specialist and Head of Business Development at Private Equity firm, Marcol. Rebekah's experience includes Partner and Director roles at Marcol, M7 and Cushman & Wakefield, spanning international capital markets through to operations-led asset management. So she is well-placed to comment, and is brilliant at explaining the complex real estate investment world. Highlights of this episode include: How investors price real estate and take calculated risks in a fast-moving market - including re-pricing retail and offices, the premium required for investing further afield, and the ‘tech effect' on valuations Dumb money and the financial consequences of herd mentality - even amongst sophisticated institutional investors The flight to quality and safety - and perceived low risk of prime real estate The importance of optimising operations as a way to create value - and how sophisticated investors are doing this across sectors.

It’s more fearful when you look out at the risk than when you’re actually living in it.” Thom Byrne, Episode 14 In regards to being an entrepreneur: “There is a risk tolerance that you have to find acceptable. I think most people don’t find it acceptable and they don’t get into entrepreneurship but I would encourage people to evaluate the risk in the grand scheme of things and if you do that, you may find that it’s much more tolerable.” Thom Byrne, Episode 14 In regards to being an entrepreneur: “It’s better to try than to have regret.” Benoy Thanjan, Episode 14 “If you have the appetite to do it, to be an entrepreneur, you have to do it. That bug is not going to go away and you don’t want to wake up with grandchildren and just a story about something you were going to do, rather than having actually tried to do it.” Thom Byrne, Episode 14 “Everyone is talking about storage and how in the market, tariffs and costs continue to go down.” Benoy Thanjan, Episode 14 “A statistic the World Economic Forum put out, is that .5% of any institutional capital being put out is for clean energy.” Thom Byrne, Episode 14     Resources Mentioned: “Taming the Sun: Innovations to Harness Solar Energy and Power the Planet” by Varun Sivaram “The Grid: The Fraying Wires Between Americans and Our Energy Future” by Gretchen Bakke   Stay Connected: Benoy Thanjan LinkedIn.com/bthanjan Facebook: Reneu Energy www.reneuenergy.com info@reneuenergy.com   Thom Byrne www.cleancapital.com Experts Only Podcast Linkedin: CleanCapital Facebook: @CleanCapitalCo Twitter: @CleanCapital_ tbyrne@cleancapital.com  

This week in Crypto Watch, Alan Kohler speaks to Jordan Michaelides, Head of Institutional Investment at CoinJar for an update on institutional investment in the cryptocurrency space. Market commentator Saeed Sidaoui also provides his report on the latest cryptocurrency news and market movements.

Interview location: London, UKInterview date: Mon 18th Jun 2018The institutional relationship with Crypto Assets has been one of light touch. Where banks had been dismissive of Bitcoin, but open to the opportunities with blockchain, the demand from institutional investors has contributed towards the changing banking narrative towards Crypto.There is growing demand from institutional investors to hold Crypto Assets within their portfolio, yet these assets present new challenges from custody to regulation. Still, the need is driving forward a growing industry of solutions for those who want exposure to the market.Institutions hold the capital but want to avoid the risk of handling the asset, but with companies such as XAPO and BitGo offering institutional custody solutions and the likes of Coinbase and Grayscale offering products which expose investors to the class without the headache of buying, selling and managing, institutions now have viable options to invest in the market.The banking sector is adapting; Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have opened trading desks, and the crypto market has gone from enemy to friend. As Crypto Asset and blockchain innovation continues to move at pace, investors do not want to miss out on the opportunity within these market.With over $1.5bn in crypto assets under management ($3bn before the crash in January), Grayscale is one of the leading companies providing products for institutional investors. Their range of Single Product Investment Trusts and Diversified Large Cap Fund allow institutional investors to place bets on the Crypto market without the risk of custody or challenges associated with buying and selling.Michael Sonnenshein knows both sides of the market. His career started in the traditional banking sector as an analyst at Barclays before he moved to JP Morgan and then onto Grayscale in 2013, where he is now the Managing Director.In this interview, we discuss the interest from institutional investors, the impact of the bear market on sentiment and how Grayscale handles custody for $1.5bn in assets under management.-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show my doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: Bitcoin | Ethereum | Litecoin | Monero | ZCash | RipplecoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.

My guest this week is Chris Douvos, a managing partner at Venture Investment Associates, which allocates 1.6B in behalf of investors.  Chris is the first professional allocator I’ve spoken with who focuses specifically on venture capital funds, so I had a ton of questions for him on how to build a portfolio in an asset class known for uncertain, but often enormous, outcomes. We discuss the major recent changes in the asset class and where things might be going. I sought Chris out because while this is an investment style that is full of creativity and hope, I’ve always felt it could use a healthy dose of skepticism and a value investor’s mindset. He delivers in spades as we try to separate the real from the ideal.  We didn’t record it, but Chris’s tour of Palo Alto was one of the most interesting and entertaining hours I’ve spent. He is a student of history and markets, and I look forward to learning more from him in the future.  Please enjoy our conversation   For more episodes go to InvestorFieldGuide.com/podcast.

Frank Michlick helps investors outside the domain name industry understand the new top level domain names opportunity.

As the possibility of living in a carbon constrained world becomes more and more a reality, many companies are rethinking their business models and integrating sustainability factors into their business models to address the environmental and social risks they face. But companies are not the only ones that need to put sustainability at the top of their agenda. Investors are growing increasingly aware of the risks that climate change, water scarcity, workplace conditions and other sustainability issues present to companies’ bottom lines. Some of these investors, like the California State Teachers' Retirement System – the largest U.S. teacher’s retirement fund and second largest U.S. public pension fund – are not only telling companies to minimize these environmental and social risks in their business plans, but are actually taking proactive steps to ensure that their own investment practices embrace sustainability from the top down. in this episode we’re joined by Jack Ehnes Chief Executive Officer of CalSTRS to talk about the role investors play in creating sustainable companies – and how the recently released Ceres Roadmap for sustainability can be used by investors to help evaluate a company’s sustainability performance and move us closer to a more sustainable economy.
