Money Maze Podcast

In a world where investment classification rules supreme, Sixth Street believes that its flexible architecture, approach, and culture make the firm different. 
  
Sixth Street, founded in 2009, manages more than $130 bn, suggesting flexible capital unlocks opportunities in a world that never stands still.  
  
Sixth Street’s Partner, Co-President & Co-CIO Julian Salisbury is a veteran of 25 years at Goldman Sachs, including former head of its asset management and merchant banking businesses.  
  
Julian discusses how Sixth Street works as One Team with a shared mission to deliver the best investment opportunities for its investors, as well as Sixth Street’s priorities when identifying and sourcing opportunities, industry preferences, timelines, and exits.  
  
He then explores the conundrum of growing assets and preserving alpha and reflects on current obstacles in the private markets.
He also describes “the complexity premium,” changes in the world of direct lending, calibrating risk in an untraditional fund structure and private markets, and more.

BETA Technologies is a Nasdaq-listed aircraft manufacturer breaking new ground with its advanced pursuit of building world-beating electric planes. 
Kyle Clark, Founder and CEO, explains the economic advantages of electric aircraft. 
He discusses assembly to operating systems, and then explains how oil majors are the beneficiaries of planes constantly refuelling, but those who own and make the electric airplanes & their batteries have a much greater continued advantage. 
He describes how the US wants to lead in electric aviation, the military demand, why regulation can help as it creates barriers to entry, why for their roll out, cargo, medical & logistics are coming before people.
However, longer flights, more people, and the peace of flying electric, are all part of a fascinating new chapter in flight.

For the first time in our 6-year existence, the MMP wanted to dive into this somewhat opaque world, in line with our mission to de-mystify areas of business and finance vital to us all.
Alan discusses the evolution of the top law firms, why US competition is ferocious, why he relocated to the US to help drive their business, and how they can advise global tech clients simultaneously.
He answers the questions of “what do clients want”, “how do you stay at the top”, acquiring and retaining talent, culture, expansion, using data, reward, and the work/life balance.
He also offers a series of compelling insights, laced with laughter, and with a particularly well thought out set of perspectives on how AI is, and may, re-sculpture the legal landscape.

“Activism” might be one of the less helpful terms in modern investing, a label that conjures everything from boardroom bust-ups, to terse exchanges between disgruntled shareholders and incumbent managements. 
However, in this conversation, Lars explains the early insights gained from collaborations with the great Carl Icahn, to building Cevian, and creating a long-term, extremely successful fund, investing in a small number of listed European and UK companies to help bring about significant, value-creating change. 
He explains the voyage from identification to ownership; from constructive engagement to taking a place on the board; to working to bring about change and improving the business’ execution to driving improved shareholder returns through operational improvements. 
He contrasts their approach to that of private equity, discusses investing as they did to bring about change at ABB, to pondering on the question of “why more people don’t do this?”

We were surprised, when researching for this interview, to learn that State Street Investment Management are the fourth largest asset manager globally, with circa $6 Trillion of assets. 
Size confers both opportunity and challenges, however, and in this conversation Yie-Hsin talks about the global savings gap and the evolution of Asset Management. She addresses the place of the historic 60/40 allocations in a world where bonds may not deliver, and inflation is stubborn.  
She reflects on the turbulence in private markets, the emerging market debt and equity opportunities and why tokenisation is becoming an increasingly potent force.
In January 2026, State Street launched its own Digital Asset Platform, which includes wallet management, custodial, and cash capabilities to support tokenized asset development.
