Drawing on Michael’s experience across investing, advisory, and media, the conversation explores how shifting market structure, technology, and education are reshaping distribution strategies. They examine why the wealth channel is still early in its adoption of alternatives and what that means for GPs thinking about growth beyond institutions. The discussion also highlights how evolving business models on both the asset management and wealth management sides are beginning to collide. They discuss: - Why education is the primary driver of private market adoption in the wealth channel - How different GP profiles should think about whether and how to pursue private wealth distribution - The rise of evergreen structures and the operational and cultural demands they place on managers - How consolidation in wealth management is changing allocator behavior and GP relationships - Why brand, identity, and authenticity matter more than ever for alternative managers Megaphone Embeddable Player The Distribution by Juniper Square How Education Leads to Allocation in Private Investments - Michael Sidgmore - Partner & Co-Founder @ Broadhaven Ventures 00:00:00 Forward 15 seconds Back 15 seconds 00:00:00 [Save to Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/5ysEwoATUSEiol96NZgR8L?intent=1 "Save to Spotify") Subscribe Description ## Share The Distribution by Juniper Square Share this episode with your friends [Share via Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?quote=%27How+Education+Leads+to+Allocation+in+Private+Investments+-+Michael+Sidgmore+-+Partner+%26+Co-Founder+%40+Broadhaven+Ventures%27+by+The+Distribution+by+Juniper+Square&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmegaphone.link%2FDTSOS2475764843 "Share via Facebook")[Share via Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=%27How+Education+Leads+to+Allocation+in+Private+Investments+-+Michael+Sidgmore+-+Partner+%26+Co-Founder+%40+Broadhaven+Ventures%27+by+The+Distribution+by+Juniper+Square&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmegaphone.link%2FDTSOS2475764843 "Share via Twitter") [Download episode](https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/DTSOS2475764843.mp3?source=player&updated=1773697454) ## Subscribe to The Distribution by Juniper Square Keep up to date by subscribing to this podcast [](https://feeds.megaphone.fm/the-distribution "Subscribe via RSS") [Subscribe via Apple Podcasts](https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/id1677652734 "Subscribe via Apple Podcasts") [Subscribe via Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/5ysEwoATUSEiol96NZgR8L "Subscribe via Spotify") [Subscribe via iHeart](https://www.iheart.com/podcast/268261652 "Subscribe via iHeart") ## Description In this episode of The Distribution, Brandon Sedloff sits down with Michael Sidgmore to unpack the accelerating convergence between private markets and private wealth.
