In the first episode of Alpha Explained, George Kailas, founder and CEO of Aethon Fund, sits down with Les Brun, Chairman and CEO of Sarr Group and Founder of Hamilton Lane. Les traces his path from driving a cab in New York to rising through commercial and investment banking. He also shares the story behind a due diligence memo that eventually became the foundation for Hamilton Lane, a global private markets firm that now oversees more than $1 trillion in assets. He explains why credit is the best place to start an investing career, why even the most advanced AI can’t fix bad data, and what decades in corporate boardrooms have taught him about leadership, values, and getting clear on what you don’t know.
Alpha Explained: for investors, allocators, and anyone curious about how great investment decisions get made.
