The case for patient capital

The age of longevity? Endowment-style investing for generations

Longevity is one of the megatrends of this century. As we live longer, how should families plan their wealth?

In this episode, Victor Aerni, CEO of Pictet Wealth Management Asia, speaks with Genevieve Cua, Wealth Editor at Business Times on how rising longevity, endowment-style investing, diversification and private markets can support resilient, multi-generational wealth.

Listen to the podcast to learn more about:

  • Endowment-style approach to investing
    Who it suits, and why it requires patience through short-term drawdowns.
  • Why illiquidity in private equity is not the real premium
    Understand how the key advantage lies in private equity’s ownership model, where managers have time to control boards and make long-term operational changes that public companies cannot.
  • Importance of manager selection
    Learn how to look for genuine company owners rather than financial engineers in private equity. 
  • Diversification when bonds and equities move together
    The importance of why spreading risk beyond the traditional mix matters most when correlations rise, and how an outsourced CIO model can work alongside a family office.
  • Time versus timing
    Why investors cannot control timing, but can control time.
