What 100 Years of American Finance Tells Us About Today
Patrick O'ShaughnessyAlan Waxman
Waxman attributes private-credit stress to a factory model that industrialized fundraising and investing after 2018, with FRE multiples rising from 10–15x to 25–30x+ as underwriting standards weakened.Perpetual private BDC redemptions exceeding the 5% limit are not yet systemic in his view, but AI could reprice every industry, making matched liabilities, governed inflows, and strategy breadth critical.
The CEO Who Cheated Death, Slept an Hour a Night, and Built a Healthcare Empire
Patrick O'ShaughnessyMark Bertolini
Oscar Health is pursuing a defined-benefit-to-defined-contribution shift in healthcare, targeting 125 million people through individual ACA plans, while its cloud-native platform and “almost two dozen” LLMs support lower operating costs and disease-management economics.The CHOICE provision’s Senate removal over a $30B tax score underscores regulatory resistance, while Bertolini’s Aetna record—75% lower end-of-life costs and 652% eight-year TSR—illustrates the potential payoff from operational and benefit redesign.
