Summary
Leif Abraham, Co-CEO of Public, joins Molly at the New York Stock Exchange for one of the more fun financial discussions on how Public is building the next-generation investing platform “for those who take it seriously." Public represents the first modern alternative to Schwab, Fidelity, and Vanguard — platforms built on decades-old infrastructure that haven't kept pace with today's investors or technology. The results speak for themselves: millions of users, billions in assets under management, billions in trading volume, and revenue doubling annually as they continue to capture market share. Public's differentiators include: AI agents that automate complex investment strategies "Generated Assets" AI-powered custom indices Comprehensive multi-asset trading across stocks, ETFs, crypto, options, treasuries, bonds Focus on sophisticated investors with real assets to compound Leif and I explore how their AI-generated defense index hit 350% returns in one month (big surprise, lol), the future of financial advisors in an AI world, and why their co-CEO structure works better than solo leadership. Leif explains why they focus on the top 25% instead of chasing mass market speculation, plus his thoughts on AI, wealth inequality, and what it means for society. For investors seeking a serious platform that combines traditional financial services with cutting-edge technology, this conversation offers valuable insights into where the industry is heading.
