Rich People Doing Rich People Things

Alright Mr. Beast here and let's talk about what the mega rich are doing with their mountains of cash! Turns out they're not just swimming in it like I do in my videos (kidding...mostly). A new survey by BlackRock says family offices are throwing more money into alternative assets. We're talking real estate venture capital – the kind of stuff that makes you go 'Wait I can invest in *that*?' Basically they're diversifying. As I always say: you miss 100% of the shots you don't take and if you're going to take them take them somewhere else.

Private Equity: Still a Fan Favorite?

So private equity is still a big deal but it’s not the only game in town anymore. BlackRock's survey showed that nearly one third (32%) of single family offices planned to increase their allocations to private credit this year. Even though 12% are scaling back Armando Senra from BlackRock says private equity is still a 'centerpiece.' It's like saying Chandler is still part of the Friends group after moving to Tulsa. They're still there just... further away.

Infrastructure: The New Shiny Toy

Infrastructure is the new black baby! According to the report Thirty percent of respondents reported they intend to invest more in the sector through either debt or equity. Everyone's jumping on the infrastructure train especially with all this AI stuff needing data centers and power grids. It's like building a giant playground for robots! Bezos' family office is even backing DNA style data storage. So it seems like everyone is saying: ''I did a thing!''

Private Credit: Hype or Hope?

Now private credit is getting a lot of buzz but some folks are side eyeing it. Are these companies solid or are they about to default like a contestant who doesn't read the challenge rules? Senra says caution is good because you need managers who know their stuff. Let's hope they know what they're doing or it could be a big yikes.

Special Situations: Risky Business?

Sixty two percent of family offices favored special situation debt which is basically lending to companies in trouble. It’s like betting on the underdog who's already limping. Risky? Maybe. Rewarding? Potentially! It's like giving away a car but that car might need a *lot* of work.

The Takeaway: Diversify or Die (of Boredom)

The ultra rich are spreading their wealth like I spread the love (and money) in my videos. Private equity infrastructure private credit – they're exploring it all. The key is to diversify find solid managers and maybe just maybe build a data center powered by DNA. So keep leveling up those investments! And remember kids don't try this at home unless you have a few billion lying around. Peace out!
