Show Notes

Welcome to episode 327 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with Bob Fraser, CFO and Chief Macro Strategist at Aspen Funds. Bob is also the co-host of Invest Like a Billionaire, a podcast dedicated to educating investors on the power of private alternatives. Bob has a background in tech startups, a history of overcoming financial setbacks, and a passion for helping investors diversify their portfolios beyond traditional markets.

The conversation delves into Bob's book Invest Like a Billionaire and explores the world of alternative investments. Bob shares how he transitioned from losing everything in the dot-com crash and the financial crisis to discovering private alternatives, which offer higher yields, less volatility, and unique investment opportunities. He explains why billionaires invest 50-60% of their wealth in private markets, and why average investors can benefit from similar strategies.
