Today, I welcome Shifra Ansonoff to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Shifra is a leader at Preqin, now operating under the BlackRock umbrella within the Aladdin ecosystem, and today she shares how private markets data, AI, and institutional capital are reshaping the future of investing. She breaks down why alternatives have become a core allocation for institutional investors, how secondaries and private credit are rapidly growing, and why infrastructure is emerging as one of the biggest opportunities over the next decade. Shifra also dives into the impact of BlackRock’s acquisition of Preqin, the evolving role of AI across investing and operations, and how investors are navigating liquidity challenges, deal flow dynamics, and selective conviction in today’s market environment. With a unique vantage point at the intersection of data, technology, and capital allocation, she offers insights into where private markets are headed and how investors can better understand the forces shaping the next era of alternatives investing.
