Episode Highlights
Episode 4: Rethinking Structured Real Estate with Vik Uppal from Mavik Capital
Key Topics: Consumer Spending Trends
In a market flooded with private real estate deals, structure matters more than ever. Vik explains how many investors overlook the importance of flexibility and risk alignment—two things that often separate solid, long-term strategies from deals that fall apart when conditions change.
Why Listeners Love Alternate View
Private funds are complicated.
Most investors don’t have the time or tools to evaluate them. Alternate View gives you direct access to the people who do this work professionally. They walk through how they assess managers, structures, and terms so you can understand what real due diligence looks like before allocating capital.
A tool for portfolio diversification.
These conversations help you think critically about where alternatives fit, what makes a fund worth owning, and how to spot structural risks that don’t show up in the pitch deck.
What People are Saying About Alternate View:
“I keep hearing the buzzwords — private equity, venture capital, real assets — but had no idea what it all meant. Until now.”
“Listening to Alternate View is like sitting in on a grad school class taught by fund nerds who actually manage money. They break down every part of a deal. Sometimes I have to rewind twice, but I always leave smarter.”
“Vik Uppal’s episode on structured real estate was thoughtful and detailed. It gave me a much better understanding of how these deals are actually built and why structure matters so much!”
