Podcasts about Real assets

Some episodes are worth bringing back. This is one of them. Salem Abraham is a bit of a legend in the trend following and managed futures world. With 30+ years in the business, he's got the experience, the war stories, and, thankfully, the willingness to tell them. We originally sat down with Salem a few years ago, and the conversation was too good to leave in the archives.  In this re-release, we cover tiny Canadian, Texas; why you need noodles and red sauce if you're competing to make the best spaghetti; the Turtle Traders; a tourist boat capsizing in front of the nude beach; just how low oil can go; hanging out with Boone Pickens; honeybees; sending the first computer-generated orders electronically to the CME; trend following, naturally; why an apple salad is not a fruit salad; bonds at zero; and pecan and apple orchards. You know, the usual. Salem is the founder of Abraham Trading Company, a research-driven investment management firm that has managed alternative asset portfolios since 1988 for families, individuals, foundations, endowments, and institutions. Today, the firm runs the Fortress Fund for endowments and institutional investors.So whether you caught this one the first time around or somehow missed it, we're digging it back out of the archives. - SEND IT!Chapters:00:00-01:20= Intro02:20-13:14=Canadian, Texas: Orchards, Eight Kids, and Community Capital13:15-34:45=From 1987 Crash Kid to Panhandle Prop Trader: Lessons, Oil Busts, and Early HFT34:46–38:45 = When Everyone's on One Side of the Boat: Crowded Trades, Crashes, and Naked Risk38:46–58:38 = Building a Hurricane‑Proof Portfolio: Bonds Are Broken, Alternatives Step In58:39–1:09:59 = From Crashes to Coronavirus: Rethinking 60/40 and Birth of the Fortress Fund1:10:00–1:19:49 = Salem's Lightning Round: Favorite Things, Real Assets, and Star WarsFrom the Episode:T.

Eiendomsaksjer har vært svake i lang tid. Særlig har boligsektoren vært dårlig. Andre  september arrangerte Arctic, nok en gang, vår årlige investorkonferanse for nordiske eiendomsselskaper i Stockholm. Vår analytiker Michael Johansson møter ledere og stiller spørsmålet: Er bunnen nådd?  

Four investors. One hard question: does impact actually pay, and how do you prove it?This is a compilation episode of SRI360, pulling together four conversations that answer that question from four seats at the table — growth equity, private equity sustainability, infrastructure, and the policy world trying to move trillions. None treats impact simply as a discount you accept for doing good. Across four very different perspectives, they make the case that impact and financial success can — and increasingly must — work together.Maya Chorengel of TPG's Rise Fund only invests where impact and financial return are “collinear” — where the two rise together — and screens every deal for a 20%+ gross IRR and a measurable impact floor, using a formal equation built by TPG's in-house team. Cornelia Gomez of General Atlantic reduces the whole sustainability question to three value-creation levers — revenue, cost, and exit — and can name a company's three “hot potatoes” in ten minutes. Anish Majmudar of M&G runs a real-assets impact fund with roughly $750 million committed across 100-plus projects, built on the argument that infrastructure is where impact and cash flow line up most naturally. And Kieron Boyle of the Impact Investing Institute works the other end — trying to pull the trillions sitting in mainstream capital markets and family offices into the field.Taken together, they map how impact investing actually underwrites, measures, and defends itself — at a moment when the whole category is under political fire.In this episode we discuss:“Collinearity”: why the best impact deals are the ones where returns and impact rise togetherHow to underwrite impact with an actual equation — and a 20%+ IRR floorThe three levers that link sustainability to value: revenue, cost, and exitHow to spot the three sustainability risks that actually move valuation — fastWhy infrastructure is where impact and cash flow align most cleanlyPulling the trillions in mainstream and family-office capital into impactWhy the whole category is contested — and what the ESG backlash gets wrongFeatured guests:Maya Chorengel, Co-Managing Partner, The Rise Fund (TPG)Cornelia Gomez, Global Head of Sustainability, General AtlanticAnish Majmudar, Head of Infrastructures and Real Assets, Private Markets - M&G PLCKieron Boyle, CEO, Impact Investing InstituteAdditional ResourcesMaya Chorengel — The Rise Fund (TPG)Full SRI360° episode (EP50): https://sri360.com/podcast/maya-chorengel/The Rise Fund: https://therisefund.com/Maya Chorengel on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maya-chorengel-603b76/HBR article “Calculating the Value of Impact Investing”Cornelia Gomez — General AtlanticFull SRI360° episode (EP74): https://sri360.com/podcast/cornelia-gomez/General Atlantic: https://www.generalatlantic.com/Cornelia Gomez on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/cornelia-gomez/Anish Majmudar — M&G plcFull SRI360° episode (EP43): https://sri360.com/podcast/anish-majmudar/M&G plc: https://www.mandg.com/Anish Majmudar on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anish-majmudar-cfa-8192933b/Kieron Boyle — Impact Investing InstituteFull SRI360° episode: https://sri360.com/podcast/kieron-boyle/Impact Investing Institute: https://www.impactinvest.org.uk/Kieron Boyle on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kjboyle/Discover More from SRI360°:Explore all episodes of the SRI360° PodcastSign up for the free weekly email update

Capital is rotating, the line between real estate and infrastructure is blurring, and the deals getting done today look different from those of even three years ago. In this episode of CRE Exchange, Omar Eltorai sits down with Tim Bodner, who leads PwC's US and global real estate deals practice, to discuss the firm's 2026 midyear CRE outlook. They cover the real assets convergence thesis, why operational prowess is replacing cap rate compression as the primary value driver, where REIT consolidation goes from here, and how private capital is redefining the dealmaking landscape.

Governments across the world are locked in the same race: attracting the private capital needed to modernise infrastructure and meet goals on economic growth, energy security, climate resilience and technological advancement. In this episode of Talking Global Infrastructure, GIIA Director of Corporate Affairs Simon Montague sits down with Freshfields Partners Jessamy Gallagher, Co-head of Energy and Real Assets, and Alastair Mordaunt to break down what makes jurisdictions attractive to global investors, how investors evaluate the risks in each market, and ultimately what drives global investment. Reflecting on our Competing for Capital report, a comparative study of the policy and regulatory frameworks shaping private investment in infrastructure – focusing on nine of the world's largest infrastructure markets, this conversation takes listeners through the expanding maze of regulatory regimes, foreign investment screening and more. The insights in Competing for Capital are vital reading for everyone involved in shaping policy or making decisions that impact the attractiveness of investing in critical infrastructure. Investment will only land where rules are clear and frameworks can deliver.

Enjoyed our podcast? Shoot us a text and let us know—because great conversations never end at the last word!This week on TezTalks Radio, host Brandon Langston welcomes back Ben Elvidge to discuss the next evolution beyond Uranium.io: **Metals.io>.Last time, the conversation focused on uranium and the challenge of making a difficult physical commodity accessible through modern financial infrastructure.This time, the lens gets much wider.Metals.io expands that vision into a broader universe of materials including gold, uranium, strategic metals, and upcoming additions like cobalt, silver, palladium, and nickel. At the heart of the discussion is a simple question:Why are some of the world's most important materials still so difficult for ordinary investors to access directly?

Today, we're diving into a topic that's on the minds of many investors: how to achieve global diversification, generate steady income, and even secure a path to European residency—all without relying on traditional, passive investment models. Our guest is at the forefront of this new approach.Dan Daly is the mind behind Global Investment Partnership, a firm created to build smarter, more meaningful ways to invest globally. At the core of their innovative strategy is the Portugal Golden Visa Hospitality & Tourism Fund, which offers investors a clear path to European residency by investing directly in cash-flowing boutique hotels and short-term rental businesses in high-demand tourism markets. This approach isn't about parking capital; it's about investing in real hospitality operations that generate daily revenue and long-term value.Before creating Global Investment Partnership, our guest, Daniel Daly, built an impressive track record, leading a startup from the ground up starting in 2019 to over $600 million in annual revenue in just five years. He achieved this through strategic acquisitions.Business: Global Investment PartnershipWebsite: https://globalipllc.com/Email: ddaly@globalipllc.com   Remember to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss "Information That You Can Use."

Today, we are joined by Philip Diehl, former Director of the United States Mint and President of U.S. Money Reserve, for a timely conversation about gold's renewed role in a world shaped by inflation, geopolitical stress, central bank demand, and uncertainty around fiat currencies. Philip explains why gold's recent rise is not simply a speculative move, but part of a broader shift in how governments, institutions, and individuals think about wealth preservation. From central bank buying and Chinese retail demand to Bitcoin, ETFs, physical coins, and the limits of the U.S. dollar system, this episode explores why gold is once again moving from the margins of portfolios toward the center of the macro conversation.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on LinkedIn.Follow Philip on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Why Philip Diehl believes investors should “buy the dip” in gold01:14 - Philip's career from public policy to the U.S. Mint06:08 - What U.S. Money Reserve does and why physical gold matters08:08 - The forces behind gold's powerful multi-year rally13:08 - Central bank buying, dollar risk, and portfolio diversification19:05 - Why some central banks may sell gold during stress22:18 - Chinese demand, cultural memory, and the role of retail buyers28:32 - Why Philip does not see Bitcoin as “digital gold”32:44 - Physical gold versus ETFs and the question of ownership37:10 - How retail investors behave during gold bull markets41:16 - Portfolio allocation and the changing case for gold45:52 - Why Philip expects gold to outperform equities over the next decade48:15 - Why today's gold market is not a repeat of the 1970s52:21 - Gold miners, production limits, and rising extraction costs55:58 - Fort Knox, revaluing U.S. gold reserves, and political reality59:24 - Lessons from Philip's career and how to learn more about goldCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Brandon Sedloff hosts a special live panel recorded at the INREV annual conference in Barcelona, where he was invited to moderate an exclusive Investor Day session featuring some of the world's leading institutional allocators. In front of an audience of global pension funds, insurance companies, family offices, and sovereign wealth funds, he sits down with Lucy Fletcher, Marieke van Kamp, and Martin Lemke to unpack how sophisticated investors are thinking about real estate today. The conversation explores how the asset class is evolving within private market portfolios, how global capital is being allocated across regions and sectors, and why fundamentals, data, and operational execution are becoming more critical than ever. Drawing from perspectives across global funds, European insurance portfolios, and family office capital, the panel offers a rare look into how top allocators are positioning for the next cycle. They discuss: How institutional allocators view real estate's role as a long term, income generating and stabilizing asset within private markets The tradeoffs between global diversification and regional focus, including why some investors remain concentrated in Europe The growing importance of data, transparency, and AI in shaping investment decisions and industry evolution Where investors are finding opportunity today, including living sectors, essential services, and value in retrofitting existing assets What defines a strong operating partner, from alignment and governance to transparency and active portfolio management Links: Lucy on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucyjfletcher/ Marieke on Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/marieke-van-kamp-25794b2/ Martin on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-lemke-germany/ Juniper Square - https://www.junipersquare.com/ Brandon on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonsedloff/ Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:04:27) - Introducing the panel (00:06:59) - Reflections as chairpersons of INREV (00:14:50) - What is the role of RE in a portfolio today?

That early exposure to land and water shaped a life long focus on conservation. After a decade at The Conservation Fund structuring complex land deals, he co founded EIP in 2006 to answer a simple but difficult question.Can you use private capital, at scale, to restore degraded ecosystems while still meeting the financial expectations of institutional investorsOver almost twenty years, EIP has shown that the answer is yes.The firm acquires degraded land, restores wetlands, streams, and habitats, then sells mitigation credits to public and private developers that are required by law to offset their environmental impacts. It is a space where environmental protection, infrastructure, housing, and finance all intersect.In this conversation, Nick explains how mitigation banking actually works, why these markets are fully regulated and compulsory, how a new 400 million dollar fund will expand EIP's work, and why he believes more young people should bring serious financial skills into the environmental sector. ----------------------------------------Investing in Impact is powered by Causeartist, a nonprofit media company dedicated to bridging the gap between capital and culture by spotlighting founders, investors, and organizations reimagining how business can serve people and the planet.Through storytelling, events, and open-access education, Causeartist helps create a shared language of impact, inspiring more founders to build with purpose and more funders to invest with intention.By amplifying ideas and innovations across industries, Causeartist transforms awareness into action and cultivates a community where paying it forward is part of the foundation for growth.

CBRE Investment Management's Co-CEO and CIO, Adam Gallistel, offers insights on where real assets investors can find strong return opportunities in today's market. He discusses shifting strategies amid higher interest rates, alternative asset classes, the role of operational expertise and why Europe offers attractive relative value right now. Prioritize operations and asset selection: Gallistel emphasizes that “hope is not a strategy”—returns will come from income growth and strong asset selection rather than relying on market-driven cap rate compression. Diversification matters: Niche sectors like data centers and student housing offer non-correlated income streams and resilience compared to traditional “big four” asset classes. Europe looks compelling: Europe offers relative value and growth potential, making it an attractive complement to a U.S. property portfolio. Infrastructure and power are critical: CBRE IM is investing in solutions like battery storage and renewable energy to capitalize on growing demand for power in the digital economy. Overlooked markets show promise: Gallistel sees opportunities in U.S. Midwest real estate markets as supply dynamics shift.
