E364: $90B Limited Partner: Why We're (Still) Bullish on Large VC Funds

from How I Invest with David Weisburd · host David Weisburd

What if venture capital isn’t an asset class—but an access game where only a few managers matter? In this episode, I sit down with Nolan Bean, CIO at FEG Investment Advisors, to discuss how institutional investors are adapting to a world where companies stay private longer and AI is reshaping every asset class. Nolan breaks down why access to top-tier managers matters more than allocation, how venture portfolios are evolving to include both early-stage and multi-stage exposure, and why DPI, liquidity, and portfolio construction are becoming more complex. We also explore portable alpha, diversification myths, and how allocators think about risk in a world where everything is increasingly correlated.
