Monthly Alts Pulse Ep. 11: Taking the pulse of private markets with Dan Vene, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Head of Investment Solutions, iCapital

Welcome to the 11th episode of a collaboration between iCapital x Alt Goes Mainstream. 

We changed up this month’s episode, welcoming iCapital Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Head of Investment Solutions Dan Vene to the show to discuss the evolution of private markets and the launch of iCapital’s Marketplace.

iCapital, as the leading platform that is responsible for the majority of individual and advisor-led investment flows into the alts space, has its finger on the pulse of what’s happening in private markets.

Dan and I had a fascinating and lively discussion about the evolution of the industry through the lens of iCapital’s growth and maturation, which has most recently included the creation of iCapital Marketplace. We discussed:

• Can alternative investments help you sleep at night?
• Public markets vs. private markets?
• What are the benefits of private markets?
• Are there evolving perspectives on liquidity?
• What potential market catalysts could further shift investments from public to private investments?
• How and why have fund managers had success on Marketplace?
• What’s the new world order for investing?

Thanks Dan for a great episode … looking forward to next month’s Monthly Alts Pulse conversation!
