The Institutional Investor piece recounts how JPMorgan Chase faced intense scrutiny over its long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who was awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges when he died in 2019. Citing a New York Times investigation, the article explains that JPMorgan's compliance staff had recommended ending Epstein's accounts after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, but senior management resisted and kept him as a profitable private-banking client until 2013. Internal debate over whether to cut ties was reportedly heated, with at least one compliance officer quitting and top executives ultimately overruling warnings about legal and reputational risk.The article also highlights how Epstein leveraged relationships inside the firm — particularly with executives like Jes Staley, who helped bring Epstein connections and business — to maintain his access despite red flags. It notes that Epstein's network helped JPMorgan win wealthy clients and deals, which complicated internal efforts to drop him. JPMorgan publicly pushed back against the Times report, with spokespeople denying senior leaders overruled compliance to retain Epstein. The bank eventually ended the relationship amid heightened regulatory scrutiny and changes in leadership, but the episode raised questions about how Wall Street institutions balance risk, reputation, and money.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Big headlines make it sound like housing is about to change overnight — but will it?In this episode of the Not Your Average Investor Show, JWB Co-Founder Gregg Cohen and host Pablo Gonzalez break down two major headlines: President Trump's proposed “Wall Street ban” on single-family rentals, and the historic move directing the GSEs to buy $200B of mortgage-backed securities.They'll explore:- The real share institutional investors have in single-family homes- How a proposed ban would actually affect affordability and supply- What the $200B MBS move signals for mortgage rates and the market- Why these policies feel very different depending on where you investIf you've been wondering whether these headlines signal opportunity, risk, or just more noise, you won't want to miss this one.Listen NOW!Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Headlines Overview01:33 Welcome to the Not Your Average Investor Show02:03 Big News: Not Your Average Investor Summit02:23 Jacksonville's Mayor Joins the Summit04:54 Jacksonville Population Growth vs. Home Sales09:54 Trump's Proposal on Institutional Investors10:58 Debunking the Institutional Investor Myth13:14 Institutional Investors' Impact on the Housing Market18:40 Detailed Breakdown of Housing Units and Ownership23:29 Conclusion: Minimal Impact of Potential Ban25:38 Institutional Investors and Housing Affordability26:33 The Role of Institutions in the Housing Market27:24 Challenges and Solutions in Home Building31:02 Q&A: Jacksonville's Housing Market32:35 Summit Preview and State of the Union39:15 Government Policies and Mortgage Rates53:19 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsStay connected to us!

Trump just issued an executive order to ban large institutional investors from purchasing single family homes. He stated "A person sweats, works, buys one house and can't take depreciation". The average age of first time homebuyers is 40, the highest ever recorded. The average age of all homebuyers is 59. Homebuyers over the age of 70 outnumber buyers under 35. This is not a healthy market. Trump's ban will likely reduce home prices in the short term. Lennar, the second largest homebuilder in the US, has dropped prices 27%, below pre-pandemic prices. New home inventory especially in the Southeast are at all-time highs. The homebuilders felt comfortable building homes because if they were unable to sell to a homebuyer institutional buyers would purchase the property. The US dollar as reserve currency status has been strengthened. It is based primarily on the petrodollar. The US and Saudi Arabia agreed to price its oil in US dollars in exchange for military protection and economic cooperation. The relationship was strengthened recently by Trump. This ensures steady demand for the dollar. In 2019 the US became a net exporter of oil. This further strengthens the US dollar in oil trade. All major oil benchmarks, West Texas Intermediate and Brent Crude are priced in US dollars. US and Venezuelan combined oil reserves account for over 50% of the total world's oil reserves. As long as the US controls Venezuelan oil, the US will dominate the world oil market. The US has prevented China from controlling Venezuelan oil. This is a significant hit to China and the BRICS currency.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Josh Young to the show. Josh Young is Chief Investment Officer & Founder, Bison Interests. The interview explores the current landscape of the global energy market, focusing on geopolitical risks, supply and demand dynamics, and investment opportunities in the oil and gas sector. Young provides a comprehensive analysis of potential geopolitical tensions, particularly surrounding Iran and the Middle East. He suggests that the current situation presents significant risks to global oil supply, with potential disruptions ranging from 1 to 20 million barrels per day. The geopolitical uncertainty is largely underappreciated by the market, creating potential opportunities for investors who understand these dynamics. On the supply side, Josh highlights critical challenges in oil production. He notes that companies like Continental Resources are reducing drilling activities at current price levels, indicating that sustainable oil production may require prices in the $80-$90 range. The industry is experiencing a significant downcycle in both offshore and onshore exploration and development, with exploration success rates declining and existing reserves being depleted. Demand dynamics appear more robust than many analysts expect. Young argues that government stimulus, particularly in an election year, and emerging market growth could support oil consumption. He suggests that a potential economic slowdown might not necessarily reduce oil demand, as increased return-to-office trends could offset potential consumption reductions. Regarding investment strategies, Young cautions against large integrated oil companies trading at high valuations. Instead, he recommends smaller producers with clean balance sheets, debt reduction potential, and attractive valuation metrics. He emphasizes the importance of companies that can pay down debt, buy back shares, and potentially offer high dividends. Young also discusses his Bison Insights substack, where he shares investment ideas in the energy sector. He believes the current market presents unique opportunities, drawing parallels to previous commodity cycles and highlighting the potential for significant returns in carefully selected energy investments.

Institutional investors are often blamed for America's housing affordability crisis, but are they really the problem? Ron Phillips breaks down recent claims about banning institutional investors from buying single-family homes and explains why the numbers don't support the narrative. He walks through actual ownership data, highlights why government regulation and inflation play a far bigger role in rising home prices, and challenges listeners to look past political talking points and into the real drivers behind housing supply, demand, and affordability. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE How much of the housing market do institutional investors actually own Why blaming large investors ignores the real affordability drivers The breakdown of owner-occupied, rental, and vacant housing in the U.S. Main factors that inflate construction costs Unintended consequences of government intervention in housing markets RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Why It's Nearly Impossible to Build Affordable Housing in America with Brian Mertz CONNECT WITH US: If you need help with anything in real estate, please email invest@rpcinvest.com Reach Ron: RP Capital Leave podcast reviews and topic suggestions: iTunes Subscribe and get additional info: Get Real Estate Success Facebook Group: Cash Flow Property Facebook Community Instagram: @ronphillips_ YouTube: RpCapital Get the latest trends and insights: RP Capital Newsletter
Will Trump's proposal to ban large institutional investors from buying single family homes reduce housing prices. His statement "People live in homes, not corporations" sounds good on the surface. The housing affordability crisis was caused by: 1. The Federal Reserve reduced interest rates too low for too long. This created an asset bubble. 2. Many homeowners/real estate investors have significant appreciation subject to capital gains if they sell. 3. Many homeowners are "locked in" with historical low mortgage interest rates. 4. Shortage of single family homes. When the government tries to solve a problem it typically creates another unintended problem. The solution is not to ban a class of investors. The best solution is for the government to get out of the way. If the government really wants to improve housing affordability they should: 1. Reduce taxes, fees, zoning rules, and delays for home builders who build affordable single family homes. This will increase inventory. 2. Offer a capital gains tax holiday for homes owned for 5-10+ years. Many homes would become available.
Chris Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors and author of The Institutional Risk Analyst blog, joins The Julia La Roche Show for "The Wrap with Chris Whalen." In this episode, Whalen calls Trump's $200 billion mortgage bond buyback idea "idiotic" and says institutional investors aren't the problem with housing - the Fed buying 30-year mortgages and driving up home prices 50% in five years was the real culprit. He explains the Fed has been "operating like a hedge fund" with dangerous variable duration securities that won't pay off for over 10 years. On Venezuela, Whalen says it should have happened long ago - the Iranians had offensive missiles there that could strike the US, and he's astounded previous administrations tolerated it. He warns AI hype is now a systemic risk to tech valuations, with Oracle's Larry Ellison risking his company to chase the crowd, and predicts 2025's "magical year with no apparent cost for risk" is ending as banks prepare for consumer credit deterioration in 2026-27.Links: The Institutional Risk Analyst: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/ https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/post/theira796Inflated book (2nd edition): https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/inflated-r-christopher-whalen/1146303673Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/rcwhalen Website: https://www.rcwhalen.com/ Timestamps:00:00 Intro and welcome Chris Whalen00:48 Non-farm payrolls report - weakness supports those saying economy is weak01:46 Rate cuts likely this year on short end, but long-term rates not coming down02:45 Trump's $200 billion mortgage bond idea - Chris calls it "idiotic"07:25 Housing correction already building in weaker markets08:24 Institutional investors not the problem - Fed buying 30-year mortgages was the problem12:04 What would actually help housing?

Alex Barron and William Lee react to President Trump's comments about removing institutional investors from the housing market, saying “people live in homes, not corporations.” William discusses how planned communities are becoming less affordable and thinks that limiting institutions will be only one of many steps Trump will take to make housing more attainable. Alex argues that institutional investors don't own that many houses and that the issues lie more with the Fed. He thinks the first half of this year will be “tough” in the sector.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Catalytic capital is often described as concessional capital, sometimes accepting lower returns. But this framing overlooks what matters most. In practice, catalytic capital steps in first, absorbs the risk others can't, and makes institutional capital comfortable enough to follow.If you're involved in capital allocation, this matters because catalytic capital isn't about charity. It's about structuring risk so institutions can invest in assets they normally couldn't because of regulatory and rating rules.This episode focuses on how catalytic capital functions inside impact investing portfolios under real regulatory and balance-sheet constraints. It revisits key points from my earlier conversation with Yasemin Saltuk Lamy who built and scaled the Catalyst Portfolio at British International Investment from roughly £300 million to about £1.6 billion.Tune in to learn:Why who goes first matters more than how much capital goes inWhen catalytic capital actually crowds in institutional investorsHow credit enhancement changes regulatory eligibilityHow impact measurement shapes capital allocation decisionsWhy impact trades off with liquidity, not financial returnsFeatured guest: Yasemin Saltuk Lamy, Head of Investment Strategy for the Institutional Retirement division of Legal & General (L&G) and former Deputy CIO and Head of Asset Allocation and Capital Solutions at British International Investment (BII)Listen Next: Full conversation with Yasemin Saltuk LamyDiscover More from SRI360°:Explore all episodes of the SRI360° Podcast Sign up for the free weekly email update

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, host Nate Thurston discusses the current housing affordability crisis and former President Trump's proposal for 50-year mortgages. Nate examines the complexities and potential downsides of longer mortgage terms, emphasizing that the root problem lies in the supply and demand imbalance in the housing market. He suggests that government regulations, state and local zoning laws, and various economic factors are contributing to the housing shortage. Nate also touches upon the role of institutional investors, immigration, and tariffs on building materials in exacerbating the crisis.

Today we were thrilled to host Julien Dumoulin-Smith, Managing Director of U.S. Power, Utilities, and Clean Energy Research at Jefferies. Julien joined the firm in July 2024 after serving as a Senior Research Analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch and as an Executive Director at UBS. He holds an MBA and a B.S. in Applied Mathematics from Columbia University. Institutional Investor magazine has ranked Julien as a #1 double-ranked analyst in both Utilities and Alternative/Clean Energy, and he was inducted into the II Hall of Fame for his cumulative accomplishments. It was our pleasure to welcome Julien to our office and hear his thoughtful perspectives on the ever-evolving energy and power landscape. In our discussion, we explore Julien's coverage universe, which he describes as “the full electron and derivatives landscape” spanning utilities, IPPs, renewables, gas plants, industrial adjacencies, and service providers. We discuss the influx of new investors entering power and utilities, Julien's observation that the biggest surprise isn't data center proliferation, but rather how tech companies are paying premiums for power to secure supply, and how utilities once seen as “defensive” are now showing growth characteristics. We touch on the tension between tech companies' need for rapid, large-scale power and their reluctance to become capital-intensive or FERC-regulated, why we're not seeing more long-term offtakes with existing power plants and how state level politics play into it, and how legacy players, new entrants, and regulators are all adapting to a power market being reshaped by AI demand, infrastructure bottlenecks, and novel deal structures. Julien shares that rising inflation across the economy is showing up in utility bills and expresses concern that LNG developers or data centers could be scapegoated for higher gas and power prices. He highlights the parabolic rise in the value of capacity and reliability, the drivers of power inflation including turbine shortages and rising capital costs, whether utilities are properly incentivized to control costs, the role of demand-response mechanisms, and how regulatory and state-level actions are shaping markets. We cover power market scenarios for high and low demand cases, the role of innovation in batteries, fuel cells, and other technologies, and the tension between patching existing systems versus building large-scale infrastructure. We also discuss constraints on ramping renewables, the growing influence of behind-the-meter power, implications for Q3 earnings, and much more. We covered a lot of territory and greatly enjoyed the conversation. To be added to Julien's research distribution list, click here. To start the show, Mike Bradley noted that markets continue to be mostly focused on the U.S. Government shutdown. The 10-year bond yield continues to trade sideways at ~4.1% with economic reports on pause until the government reopens. Internationally, Japan's Liberal Democratic Party elected Sanae Takaichi (who is viewed as fiscally expansionary), which some believe increases the risk of an unwind of the long-standing Yen carry trade. The S&P 500 is up roughly 80bps since the government shutdown, with Healthcare and Technology outperforming. He highlighted AMD's chip deal with OpenAI, which added roughly $70B in market cap, and Oracle's pullback on AI cloud margin concerns. On the crude oil market front, WTI price has increased modestly this week due to OPEC+ announcing a smaller than expected ~135kbpd oil production increase for November. While this could widen the 2026 surplus, traders are weighing when and how prices might react amid limited OPEC spare capacity. On the energy equity front, he pointed out FERMI America's strong IPO debut and continued investor enthusiasm for electricity generation. He ended by flagging the upcoming Rockpoint Gas Storage IPO (280bcf in Canada &

Martyn Briggs, Director, Thematic Investing Strategy, Bank of America joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss why 2035 might be the year the car peaks and what that means for the market. Breakthroughs in AI, falling sensor costs, and favorable regulation have shifted autonomy from a “moonshot” to a fast-emerging industry and soon, a global economy that we call the autonomy economy. During the conversation Grayson and Martyn explore Bank of America's forecast of a $1.2 trillion total addressable market for autonomous vehicles by 2040, spanning not only passenger cars but also logistics, ports, mining, and agriculture.They discuss how generative AI, simulation, and neural networks are accelerating deployment and why autonomy is becoming a critical solution to labor shortages worldwide. The conversation also highlights regional adoption trends, the geopolitics shaping the autonomous vehicle race, and the more than $200 billion already invested since 2010, signaling a clear shift into commercialization and long-term opportunities for both technology developers and investors.Episode Chapters0:00 The Road to Autonomy Introduction0:23 Bank of America: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles Report10:26 UK Public Opinion on Autonomous Vehicles 16:24 Autonomous Vehicle Market Constraints 18:03 Autonomous Vehicles and Tourism20:20 Foxconn22:42 Personally-Owned Autonomous Vehicles and the Growth of Licensing 28:05 The Growing Autonomy Markets34:39 Autonomous Trucking38:57 Robotaxi Costs41:33 Peak Car and Increasing Autonomous Vehicle Investments 46:57 Institutional Investors 51:38 AI Data54:56 Chinese Autonomous Vehicle Market58:59 Autonomous Vehicles ChatGPT MomentRecorded on Thursday, September 25, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Greg MacKinnon is Director of Research at the Pension Real Estate Association (PREA), where he updates the world's largest institutional investors on portfolio construction, risk, and strategy. His is a vantage point most sponsors never get to hear directly. In this conversation, Greg and I revisited our conversation from two weeks ago to drill deeper into the housing market. His thesis is simple but surprising: the capital flows and risk assessments at the very top of the pyramid are being reshaped by renter bifurcation and the economics of affordability. Here are five questions Greg answered that every serious CRE professional should consider: Why does the 10-year Treasury matter more than the Fed's 25 bps rate cut last week? How fragile is today's economy, and what does that mean for institutional portfolio construction? How can understanding the “barbell” of renter demand help you make better investment decisions? Why has naturally affordable multifamily historically outperformed luxury on a risk-adjusted basis? Where are institutions actually deploying capital today and why? Greg's insights are drawn from the institutional world, where the stakes are measured in billions and the lens is long-term risk management. For sponsors and operators, listening in offers a rare chance to see how these investors are evaluating markets - and to align your own strategies accordingly. *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.
