While I am not writing a Weekly Research Briefing this week, I did want to pass along this insightful discussion that I just listened to on the plane. Lots of great insight into the current state of the private markets as well as good detail into how we help our clients and investors navigate the very big world of private investing.

Erik Hirsch was in New York this month and sat down with Michael Batnick, host of The Compound and Friends podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the state of private markets, misconceptions about the industry, the importance of portfolio construction, and much more.

Weekly Research Briefing: Fall Begins

Let's hope the most red we see this fall happens on the leaves of the trees and not on our screens or in our portfolios. As in years past, September remains a tricky one for the markets. This year, rising energy prices and interest rates are keeping a lid on stock prices. Just look at Monday's upward price surge on a day when oil prices and interest rates fell.
