The Long-Short is a podcast by the Alternative Investment Management Association, focusing on the very latest insights on the alternative investment industry.

Each episode will examine topical areas of interest from across the alternative investment universe with news, views and analysis delivered by AIMA’s global team, as well as a host of industry experts.

After a packed first quarter, The Long-Short co-hosts Tom Kehoe and Drew Nicol break down the key forces shaping markets, from geopolitical fault lines and economic chokepoints, to mounting pressure in private credit and what the next phase of AI adoption really means for fund managers. This isn’t a recap, it’s our read on what mattered for alternative investments, and where markets go next.

We’re also launching a new The Long-Short newsletter for deeper insights and to continue the conversation. Sign up here to catch the first edition.
