Monthly Alts Pulse Ep. 17: Live from iCapital Connect - IEQ's Eric Harrison and iCapital's Steve Houston on innovative approaches to wealth management

Alt Goes Mainstream: The Latest on Alternative Investments, WealthTech, & Private Markets

Welcome to the 17th episode of the Monthly Alts Pulse, a collaboration between iCapital x Alt Goes Mainstream.

We were live from iCapital Connect’s conference in Phoenix to dive into the most pressing trends at the intersection of private markets and wealth management —and unpack how wealth management firms are utilizing private markets to build out or enhance their practice.

In this episode of the Monthly Alts Pulse, iCapital Managing Partner and Co-Head of iCapital Solutions, Steve Houston, and I are joined by Eric Harrison, Founding Partner of IEQ Capital.

IEQ, managing close to $40B in AUM, has been an innovator from the start. Private markets — and a customized approach to investing in private markets — are a core part of the IEQ offering — and they’ve differentiated the firm as a result.

Eric and Steve shared a number of thought-provoking perspectives on wealth management and how advisors and clients can approach allocating to private markets as part of a holistic asset allocation framework.

Thanks Eric and Steve for a great episode … looking forward to the next Monthly Alts Pulse conversation!
