Today’s show is going to be all about asset prices and what we’ve been seeing lately. Don’t lose hope — it’s not all bad! Things may seem expensive right now (and are expensive!) but there are some things you can do to to ensure you’re investing in worthwhile assets! 


In this episode, Brad and I go over what we’re seeing right now in terms of pricing in both the real estate and private equity side of things, how sometimes a deal may look really expensive when it is actually an incredible deal, and some of the “tricks” to figuring out what makes a worthwhile asset vs. one that is not worth your time.

For those looking beyond the ticker symbols, The Alternative Investor explores the tangible and often complex world of assets that don't trade on a public exchange. Host Brad Johnson, drawing from his experience at Evergreen Capital, believes a well-rounded portfolio often exists outside the daily noise of the stock market. This podcast digs into the practicalities of private equity, real estate, venture capital, and other non-traditional avenues. While these opportunities can offer different paths to growth, they come with their own unique set of questions and due diligence. Each conversation is geared towards demystifying that process. You'll hear detailed discussions on how these investments actually work, the structures involved, and the long-term mindset they require. The aim isn't to offer quick tips, but to provide a clearer framework for evaluation. Johnson breaks down real-world cases and strategies, focusing on the critical factors that can influence an outcome. It’s a resource for anyone considering how to allocate capital towards assets that aren’t as easily quoted or sold, with the understanding that higher potential returns often walk hand-in-hand with increased complexity. Tune in for a straightforward take on building resilience and potential through alternative holdings.
