In this episode of Inside the Rope, host David Clark sits down with Tim Samway, founder of Scarcity Partners and former managing director of Hyperion Asset Management, to explore one of the most compelling trends in asset management—GP staking (General Partner staking).
What if, instead of being on the paying end of fund management fees, you could invest in the fund managers themselves? That’s exactly what GP staking enables—and it’s gaining serious momentum in Australia.

Tim breaks down:
* What GP staking is and why it’s more than just private equity for funds
* Why returns from GP staking (targeting 20%+ p.a.) can outperform traditional funds
* The structural shift toward private markets and the rise of endowment-style investing
* The red flags and green lights in assessing fund managers as businesses
* Why private market exposure is still underrepresented in most Australian portfolios—and what’s changing

Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of how to access the "better side" of the fee equation and what makes the economics of fund management so attractive when scaled properly.
