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

Monthly Alts Pulse Ep. 16: Live from iCapital Connect - the technology perspective of model portfolios and UMAs with GeoWealth and iCapital


Listen Later

Welcome to the 16th 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 announce a ground-breaking partnership in private markets: a collaboration between BlackRock, iCapital, and GeoWealth, where models that include both public and private markets exposure through a unified managed account (UMA) are now available to advisors.

I sat down with Jack Hannah, the President & COO of GeoWealth, and Michael Doniger, SVP, Partnerships at iCapital, to discuss the technology and market structure innovation of the UMA and how private markets can play a role in model portfolios.

In this live, unscripted episode, Jack, Michael, and I had a fascinating and lively discussion. We covered:

  • An introduction to the partnership between BlackRock, iCapital, and GeoWealth.
  • Incorporating private markets into UMAs.
  • The private markets integration workflow.
  • Customization and “sleeving” in UMAs.

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