Patrick
My guest today is Peter Lacaillade. Peter is the Chief Investment Officer for Private Investments at SCS Financial and has built one of the most respected private equity allocation platforms in wealth management, overseeing $50 billion for ultra-high-net-worth families and earning the same access as top-tier endowments to the world's best managers. He shares how SCS's pooled vehicle structure enables them to compete with institutional giants for the best funds, avoiding the adverse selection that plagues most wealth platforms.
Peter shares his investment philosophy across lower market buyouts, emerging independent sponsors, and early bets on category-defining managers like Thrive Capital and Shore Capital. We discuss what separates exceptional private equity managers, the evolution of the industry towards AI-powered strategies, and private markets going mainstream. Please enjoy this conversation with Peter Lacaillade.
