David Breach is the President and Chief Operating Officer of Vista Equity Partners, a leading specialist in enterprise software investing with over $100 billion in assets. David joined Vista a decade ago when it managed $13 billion and has been instrumental in helping manage its rapid growth. Robert Smith, Vista’s founder, was a past guest on the show, and that conversation is replayed in the feed.

 

Our conversation centers on Vista’s strategic expansion into the private wealth channel. David shares the firm’s rationale for moving beyond its institutional roots, the lessons learned from other industry leaders, and the operational buildout required to serve private wealth investors. We discuss Vista’s approach to product design and the pitch to offer differentiated exposure. David also addresses the challenges of balancing the needs of institutional and private wealth investors and maintaining discipline as more capital flows into alternatives.
