📈 According to our recent Q3 2024 Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Report, AI VC activity has been driven by an infrastructure arms race between foundation model #startups. OpenAI’s $6.6 billion Series F, for example, drove Q3 funding nearly to Q2’s total, reaching $31.1 billion overall. 🌱 Venture growth and early-stage VC funding both exceeded late-stage #funding, and startups like Sakana AI, Safe Superintelligence, and World Labs showed that leading AI researchers can earn $1 billion valuations with limited commercial proof—suggesting that multibillion-dollar #VC rounds remain likely moving forward. 🌎 Build the bigger picture with PitchBook Research.

Our very own Andrew Akers, CFA sat down with Third Wire Asset Management and William Kelly, CAIA (CEO, CAIA Association), to discuss analysis from his recent analyst note, Taking the Private Out of Private Equity. During the conversation, Andrew reviews how public markets can generate buyout-like returns by replicating private market portfolios. It comes down to sector selection, security selection and leverage. Download the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gXisHaSJ
WHAT IF PRIVATE EQUITY'S 'SECRET SAUCE' ISN’T SO SECRET AFTER ALL? Listen to the full discussion here: https://lnkd.in/gECvj3g6 The idea of operational alpha has defined private equity for decades, but what if it is largely a myth—perpetuated by marketing and based on the past performance of a small number of top-decile fund managers? Earlier this year, Andrew Akers, CFA (PitchBook), published an analyst note that caught our attention. “Taking the Private Out of Private Equity.” His research set the stage for this no-holds-barred conversation with William J. Kelly, CAIA (CAIA Association), and Daniel Harms (Third Wire Asset Management) about: Why revenue growth and multiple expansion drive nearly all PE value today—not operational improvements. How broken benchmarks and risk smoothing obscure the true volatility of PE. Could AI-powered replication strategies offer a solution? “Equity doesn’t have a conscience, or a heart, mind, and soul, and it doesn’t know if it’s private or public. And historically, the reason why investors thought about private equity versus public is that private was much less efficient, and that is ‘code’ for alpha.” – William Kelly, CAIA This conversation is wide-ranging and challenges the status quo while also providing some innovative ideas to help shape private equity’s future. #PrivateEquity #AI #BuyoutReplication #AlternativeInvestments #Transparency
