Hightower’s Robert Picard shares a grounded take on private credit, portfolio construction, and the gap between media narratives and market reality.
RIA Client Spotlight: Robert Picard on Private Credit in Client Portfolios
Live from Connect 2026, Robert walks through how Hightower serves clients across the full spectrum, from accredited investors taking their first steps into alternatives, to sophisticated families with over 50% allocated to private markets. He breaks down how evergreen fund structures have lowered minimums and improved liquidity access, and why matching the right vehicle to the right investor matters as much as manager selection.
With $300 billion in AUM across 140+ wealth management businesses, Hightower brings institutional caliber diligence to private markets at scale. A candid, practical take on where private credit stands today.
