mercredi 13 mai 2026 • Durée 39:42
Welcome to The Private Markets Playbook, a podcast for wealth advisors and CIOs navigating portfolios beyond the traditional 60/40. Hosted by Allocate, the show features candid conversations with allocators, asset managers, and industry leaders on building modern, programmatic portfolios—spanning private markets, portfolio construction, and the systems required to manage complexity at scale.
In this episode, Samir Kaji sits down with Neil Malik, Founder and CEO of K1 Investment Management, to unpack what the so‑called “SaaS apocalypse” really means for software investors in an AI‑driven market. They trace the evolution of K1’s strategy across nearly 300 enterprise software investments and dig into how Neil is triaging portfolio companies into green, yellow, and red buckets based on depth of workflow, system‑of‑record status, and the uniqueness of their data. The conversation also covers the risks of backing pure “LLM wrappers,” why regulated and infrastructure‑like software businesses may be more resilient, how multiple compression is reshaping return math for private equity, and why today’s AI and data center boom rhymes with prior infrastructure hype cycles.

Disclosures: Private real estate is, by nature, generally less volatile than the stock market. This lack of volatility does not necessarily translate to private real estate not fluctuating in or losing value. Further, the value of private real estate investments will fluctuate, and the value of real estate often lags behind general market conditions.
Tax aspects of such investments can be complex and may differ depending on the property or offering and on individual tax circumstances. Neither Crowd Street or its affiliates offer tax or legal advice. Investors are strongly encouraged to seek advice from qualified tax professionals and/or legal experts regarding the tax consequences based on their particular circumstances.
