Are markets broken — or just changing?
In this episode of Balentic Edge, Kasper Wichmann sits down with Balentic’s in-house expert Alex to unpack Hamilton Lane’s latest market outlook, Pandora’s Box, and what it signals for private markets.
They explore why this moment represents a structural shift, not just a cyclical downturn — and why AI is emerging as the single most important investment theme.
Key takeaways:
- Why AI dominates everything: how it reshapes growth, returns, and portfolio construction
- What markets are really signalling: strong performance masking structural fragility
- How LP strategy must evolve: navigating concentration, liquidity pressure, and manager selection
For LPs, GPs, and allocators, this episode provides a sharp, actionable view on positioning portfolios in an uncertain and probabilistic environment.
This is a must-listen for anyone serious about private markets today.
