Advertisement"There's no way around the US" as a quant fund, he explained, which use a vast amount of data and historical trends to inform computer-driven investment strategies. Alternative managers have turned to the private wealth channel for capital increasingly in recent years, mostly driven by large private equity firms like Blackstone, Apollo, and KKR. Tiger cubs like Tiger Global and Coatue have had long-standing relationships with JPMorgan's private wealth unit. Quant funds operate in a similar fashion, he said, and the firm thinks this can be translated to a broader audience than just longtime hedge-fund allocators.

Stocks often trade above or below their fair value, which means active managers who choose stocks wisely can score huge eye-popping returns. "What we're really looking for is opportunities where that dollar can also compound to be two, four, 10," Robotti said. "People say, 'Oh, who cares if you buy a cheap stock, the market just won't ever pay attention. When the economics of a business — even if people hate that business — are extremely strong, the stock follows." "If you bought it at 20 cents on the dollar and it doubles, you don't sell it at 40 cents on the dollar," Robotti said.

OpenAI is facing controversy. Again.

In today's big story, we're looking at the latest controversy to embroil OpenAI amid a difficult few months for the startup . Their takeaway was simple: OpenAI wants to have it both ways regarding how it's perceived about safety and commercialization. It's structured as a "capped-profit" company governed by a nonprofit, and Altman doesn't hold equity directly in OpenAI. The result, the VC told me, is people feel OpenAI is talking out of both sides of its mouth. It doesn't help that some OpenAI employees joined when that split was closer to 80/20 and favored safety over business, they added.

Vista Equity Partners, the private equity giant that's known for its tech investing, doesn't want its analysts using generative AI for due diligence. "And we do want our humans to actually go and read the stuff that's important that's going to make billion-dollar decisions in the diligence side." Other private equity firms, like the Swedish giant EQT, have introduced generative AI to the due diligence process, BI previously reported. Vista Equity Partners, which is in the business of buying companies, improving them, and selling them for a profit, employs people whose sole job is to transform operations of portfolio companies and help them scale, Saroya said. He added that the firm created a reference guide for its portfolio companies, including the data, cloud, and other software providers needed to be successful, and partnered with those companies for the portfolio companies to use, where appropriate.

And that's seen by the dot plot and their own inability to predict when interest rate cuts are going to happen." Related storiesWhen the yield curve is inverted, meaning short-term rates are above longer-term ones, a barbell strategy in bonds means betting on long- and short-duration bonds. And that barbell is kind of what investing in the yield curve looks like today", Huffman said. But if interest rates fall, you will be forced to reinvest in a lower interest rate environment. Avoid the 10-year or 30-year duration bonds because they will face a negative yield curve role, which could reduce their total return potential, she added.
