This week on Swimming with Allocators, Earnest and Alexa welcome Kate Nevin, President and Portfolio Manager at TSWII Capital Advisors. Kate, who brings over two decades of experience, delves into the firm's history, originating from a family business in wood-burning stoves to investing in Julian Robertson's Tiger hedge fund, which laid the groundwork for their current investment strategy.

Nevin also discusses the importance of building a trusted network and the challenges of scaling investments in female managers. Nik Talreja also joins to explain how Sydecar.io simplifies SPVs for fund managers, evolving terms negotiation, and considerations when warehousing deals.
