EW&L's Tim Whybourne sat down with Libby Cantrell, Managing Director and Head of Public Policy at PIMCO, one of the most sought-after voices at the intersection of Washington and Wall Street.

With $2 trillion under management and 20 years translating political complexity into investment insight, Libby doesn't deal in noise. She deals in signal.

In this conversation, Tim and Libby covered:

→ Why markets consistently misread Washington's power structure

→ The Iran conflict and what elevated oil prices mean for the US consumer

→ America's $36 trillion debt problem and the 2033 inflection point nobody is talking about

→ The 2026 midterms and the single variable that matters most to markets

→ Why China's technological ambition is the underpriced geopolitical risk of our time

One of the most substantive macro conversations we've had on the show. Essential listening for anyone serious about understanding how policy shapes portfolios.

In this episode of The Exchange, Charles Troian sits down with Adam
Reisler, Partner in the Infrastructure and Real Assets team at StepStone Group,
to explore how infrastructure has evolved from a niche institutional allocation
into one of the fastest-growing asset classes in private markets.

Adam reflects on how the opportunity set has expanded well beyond traditional
assets such as toll roads and utilities into digital infrastructure, energy transition
and the power systems required to support the global build-out of AI and data
centres. He also shares how the asset class has matured over the past two
decades and why infrastructure today offers a unique combination of defensive
characteristics and structural growth.

The conversation explores the rise of infrastructure secondaries, how investors
gain access to high-quality assets that rarely come to market, and why deep
data, manager relationships and disciplined underwriting are critical in
navigating an increasingly complex private markets landscape.
