Today, I sit down with Saish Setty of Parallaxes Capital, an incredible innovative firm that is changing the way we think about tax receivable agreements-- TRAs. Parallaxes provides liquidity to tax receivable agreement ("TRA") stakeholders by monetizing otherwise long-dated assets and anticipate that TRAs will continue to become more common in the coming years while they lead the pack. Saish and I get into the weeds on how his firm provides alpha, what a TRA even is, and what he sees in the future of this asset class.
Great conversation with Saish, enjoy.
Saish Setty joined Parallaxes Capital in 2021 and previously worked at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP and began his legal career in the Restructuring and Finance department at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz.
Saish graduated from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and from Harvard Law School cum laude with a Juris Doctor (J.D.).
