Private markets continue to navigate a more complex environment marked by extended hold periods, uneven exits, and growing demand for liquidity solutions. At the 2026 Milken Institute Global Conference, Aquarian Investments President Eric Murzyn joined Dhiren Jhaveri, Camilla Macapili Languille, David Lyon, and Wilson Warren for a conversation on how investors are adapting to those challenges across private equity, insurance capital, and credit markets. During the discussion, Eric underscored a principle that remains central to Aquarian’s approach in any market environment: “Structure is not a substitute for strong underwriting.” Thoughtful structuring can play an important role in mitigating risk, but it cannot compensate for weak fundamentals. In volatile or stressed environments, engineering should not create a false sense of security—discipline at the asset level matters most. Thank you to Eric Platt for moderating the discussion. #MIGlobal

At this year’s Milken Institute Global Conference, Aquarian Managing Partner Rudy Sahay joined leaders from across insurance and wealth management for a discussion on trust, leadership, and lifetime financial security. Throughout the conversation, Rudy emphasized that institutions entrusted with long‑term obligations must also operate with long‑term conviction, especially amid rapid technological change and evolving client expectations. As he noted during the panel, “Trust is built second by second, day by day, and lost in an instant”—a reminder that credibility is earned over time but never guaranteed. Thank you to Tim Gerend, Holly H. MacDonald, Andrew Schlossberg, and moderator Sheryl WuDunn for a thoughtful discussion on the responsibility institutions carry in helping clients build financial security across generations.

Traveled to Orlando for Workhuman Live 2026 and came back feeling inspired! Blair Leddy, SHRM-CP, our HR Generalist, joined colleagues from the Aquarian Holdings platform and Somerset Re, for a few days of learning and networking. A key takeaway for Blair was the importance of human-centered leadership and designing work around skills, care, and connection so people can truly thrive at work.

As private markets adjust to life after the exit boom, discipline and liquidity are back in focus. Aquarian Investments’ President, Eric Murzyn, will take the stage at the 2026 Milken Institute Global Conference to speak on the panel, “Private Markets After the Exit Boom: Liquidity, Insurance Capital, and Structural Discipline.” This session will examine fund- and portfolio-level liquidity tools, including insurance capital, NAV-based lending, continuation vehicles, and capital solutions platforms. Eric and his fellow panelists will assess how LPs evaluate complexity, transparency, and alignment as engineered liquidity becomes central to private-markets construction.

Our Managing Partner, Rudy Sahay, will be in Los Angeles next week for the 2026 Milken Institute Global Conference, where he will speak on the panel “Trust, Leadership, and Lifetime Financial Security.” The panel will explore how, as private markets scale across asset management and insurance platforms, CEOs face a structural challenge: integrating long‑duration assets into portfolios that balance growth, income, and long‑term capital preservation. The conversation will examine how trust, governance, and product innovation are evolving to support lifetime financial security, intergenerational wealth creation, and durable income—within an increasingly technology‑enabled investment landscape.

We were recently honored to welcome Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, Formula 1 legend, three‑time World Champion, and Aquarian Holdings Strategic Advisor, to the Aquarian office.   In a fireside chat, Sir Jackie reflected on a career defined not only by performance, but by purpose. Tracing his path through Formula 1, from early career milestones to three World Championships and 27 Grands Prix wins, he shared lessons from performing at the highest level and navigating the risks and responsibilities that came with it.    Racing in an era with limited safety standards, Sir Jackie became one of the sport’s most influential advocates for change, helping drive improvements that have fundamentally reshaped Formula 1. He also spoke about founding Race Against Dementia, a charity focused on accelerating breakthrough research through long‑term thinking and bold innovation. Sir Jackie Stewart’s life and work embody excellence with purpose, resilience through challenge, and a commitment to leaving things better than you found them.

This week, Aquarian had the privilege of co‑hosting a special celebration marking the launch of Lloyd Blankfein’s new memoir, Streetwise: Getting To and Through Goldman Sachs.   Lloyd’s story is a powerful testament to resilience, discipline, and clarity under pressure. Rising from modest beginnings in New York City public housing, he went on to lead one of Wall Street’s largest institutions through the 2008 financial crisis.   Those same qualities of commitment and perseverance sit at the core of Aquarian’s own mission. We operate in businesses where stability, long‑term thinking, and the ability to navigate complexity are foundational. Lloyd’s journey reinforces our shared belief that disciplined leadership and a forward‑looking mindset are essential to building durable platforms, especially amid disruptive cycles. As Lloyd humorously noted during the event, “we managed to experience a ‘once-in-a-century’ crisis every four or five years. Given the scale of our balance sheet and our visibility, there was almost nothing that could go wrong anywhere in the world that didn’t affect us.”   A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening memorable. We also extend our gratitude to Lloyd for sharing his time and perspectives, and to Alexander Blankfein and Maple Park Capital Partners for helping us bring this event to life.
