Private Wealth / The Edit | Ep. 2 — Asset Allocation: The Secret Sauce of Investing

Wealthy families and institutions don't start building portfolios by picking stocks. They start with asset allocation — the decision that drives outcomes more than any trade ever will. With nearly 30 years in institutional investing and $200B+ in assets overseen across firms like Apple, the UN, First Republic, and JP Morgan, Denise El Chaar breaks down the building blocks every sophisticated portfolio is built on.

In this episode: the three core asset classes — equities, fixed income, and alternatives — what role each one plays, why liquidity matters more than people realize, and how these pieces work together as a system. Plus, in "The Edit": what's really driving oil prices amid the Middle East conflict, whether we're headed back to a 1970s-style oil crisis, and what it means for your portfolio.

This is institutional investing, one private conversation at a time.
