73. What It Takes to Be a Credit Investor with Ty Wallach

In the second of our three SALT iConnections interview series, we sat down with Ty Wallach, a living legend in the credit investing world.
Ty was a partner and portfolio manager at Oak Hill and Paulson, two of the most successful and famous names in investing over the past three decades, and is currently the CIO of Atlast Merchant Capital.
We spoke with Ty about his role as an investor in both the debt and equity during the Caesar’s Palace Coup (check out episodes 39, 40 and 41 for a deep dive into one of the most infamous deals of all time!), how Paulson made billions investing during the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, relative value investing within the capital structure of a company, the Orwellian relationship between the markets and economic data in the current environment, and about the optimal paths to pursuing a career as a credit investor, specifically with regard to the merits of the CFA for advancement along that path.
A must listen for anyone interested in public markets or private credit investing!

71. From Wall Street to the White House and Back Feat. Anthony Scaramucci

Live from SALT iConnections in NYC, we are joined by Anthony Scaramucci, a financial, political, and pop culture icon here in America. Anthony worked at Goldman Sachs, is the founder of SkyBridge Capital (a global alternatives investment firm), and is the founder of the SALT iConnections cap intro conference...but is possibly most infamous for his 11 day stint as the White House Communications Director during the Trump administration. Particularly timely as many gear up for their summer internships, Anthony shares with us his lessons in resilience, in learning to chase personal growth vs prestige, and in how to graciously take a joke.
Anthony's latest book, "From Wall Street to the White House and Back," is a must-read and is available here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1637584636/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=

69. Capital Intro 101 with Ron Biscardi

We talk about Hedge Fund, Private Equity, and other "Alternative" Investment Funds all the time. But we don't always stop to ask, "how do they get all their money?" In this episode, we sat down with CEO of iConnections Ron Biscardi to explore the world of "Cap Intro": the ecosystem within which capital --- meaning, the money from pension funds, endowments, foundations, insurance companies, family offices etc --- gets allocated to fund managers in the Alts space. We learn about seed capital (money that gets new funds off the ground), explore the roles of third party marketers, broker dealers, & prime brokerage within a bank when it comes to cap intro, and discuss how iConnections has built a platform backed by technology to facilitate the world's largest cap intro conferences.

An expert in relationships and connecting people, Ron also shares his experience involving athletes, stars, and influencers like Kim Kardashian, Shaquille O'Neal, and Eli Manning in the conversation, all of whom have become formidable investors in their own right and are at the forefront of deal making in the space today. We are so excited to share this episode ahead of next week's SALT iConnections conference in NYC from May 20-21, where (thanks to Ron!) we will sharing live interviews with some of the industry's most influential and innovative thought leaders.
