The Universal Asset Owner Podcast is the intelligence briefing for the world’s largest and longest-term investors: sovereign wealth funds, public pension systems, endowments, insurers, foundations, family offices, and the managers and advisors who serve them. Each episode examines the structural forces shaping long-horizon capital — private markets, sovereign wealth, pensions, infrastructure, AI, climate, geopolitics, demographics, governance, and systemic risk. Built for CIOs, investment committees, allocators, policymakers, and institutional capital leaders, the show asks one question: what matters when you own a slice of the entire global economy? Universal Asset Owners — capital at the scale of the world.
