Summary
AI isn't just changing technology—it is reshaping how investment firms create value, evaluate managers, and generate alpha. David sits down with Thomas Scriven, Managing Director University of Pennsylvania Office of Investments, institutional investor with experience across private equity, endowment management, and investment banking, to discuss why AI-native investment firms may outperform traditional firms, how great LPs evaluate GPs, why concentrated portfolios often outperform diversification, and the investing frameworks that separate elite allocators from everyone else.
