Private Market Noise

In this week’s GVA Market Insights, our Asset Management team explores:

Private Markets Noise vs. Reality: Redemption headlines at BlackRock and Blue Owl are alarming on the surface, but the 5% quarterly liquidity cap is a structural safeguard, and comparisons to 2008 miss the mark.
Stagflation Warning Signs: CPI at 3.8%, gas above $4.50, a 10-year at a 52-week high, and zero cuts priced in for 2026 paint a 1970s-style backdrop for incoming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh.
Infrastructure is the AI Bottleneck: With hyperscalers spending $700B+ in 2026, the constraint isn’t capital — it’s power and grid capacity, creating a growing role for private market investment globally.
