Listen "E248: The Institutionalization of GP Stakes: What Comes Next"
Episode Synopsis
What makes a GP interest valuable — and how do you evaluate a manager beyond the fund they’re raising today?
In this episode, I talk with Mark Wade, CAIA, Partner at CAZ Investments, about how his team assesses GP interests, private-market managers, partnership structures, and long-term durability. We discuss why GP transactions have evolved, why some firms seek outside capital, and the practical differences between investing as a GP versus an LP. We also touch on evaluating leadership succession, LP base diversification, liquidity considerations, and why sports franchises continue to attract investor interest.
