When it comes to geopolitical risk, company risk, or even balancing the costs of capital with the desire for quick profits, institutional investors are now taking a long-term approach to their future investments. How does this perspective impact the risk-reward dynamic for future returns, and are there sectors that may not be as flashy but offer better opportunities for generating alpha?

To answer these questions and more, Michael Oliver Weinberg, host of the Improving Alpha podcast invited Sandro Salsano, President of the Salsano Group, to get a sense of what he’s seeing in the world of emerging markets, private equity, philanthropy, and more.

Sandro discusses: 

• the fascinating story behind his family office and Goldman Sachs interactions, and his insights into his innovative global strategies in the realm of private equity, emerging markets, and more.
• his core sectors and investment horizon, and how they’re delivering alpha and positive cash flows in this market.
• how he views partnerships with larger institutions to assist in putting capital to work for longer periods of time.
• his view of the Latin American markets (including Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Peru) and how inflation plays a role in his strategic investments across the region.
• balancing investments across philanthropic ideas and how these moves led him to a seat on the Board of Trustees at the University of San Diego. 
• how he applies a measure of psychology to investing, and how being humble in life and investing has led to his overall success.
• And more!
