In investing, trust is rarely built by one good quarter. It grows over many conversations, decisions and market cycles.

That is what stood out to us in the perspective our Managing Principal, Nili Sangani, shared with Forbes Finance Council. Values matter when they continue to shape decisions, including when conditions change or the choices become more difficult.

It is an especially relevant idea in private markets, where relationships are often measured in years. Worth a read.

Trust is a two-way commitment. Clients stay loyal when organizations consistently deliver value, quality, responsiveness and transparency. Read more at https://hubs.li/Q04qYqgM0 from Sonya Mughal, CFA of Bailard, Inc., Mike McGlothlin, CFP®, CLU®, ChFC®, LUTCF®, CPT® of Ash Brokerage, Dana Dunk...

The best investors we know don't just ask 'what's the return?' They ask 'what has to go right for this to work, and what happens if it doesn't?'

That's the framing EY Entrepreneur of the Year Winner for the Southwest, Dr. Bharat Sangani, uses to evaluate every opportunity. In our latest piece, he breaks down the three things that define an entrepreneurial mindset, why most investors over-deliberate themselves out of their best opportunities, and what it actually looks like to think like an owner before you wire a dollar.

A strong perspective from our Managing Principal, Nili Sangani, also SVP and Board Member at Encore Enterprises.

As highlighted in Forbes, understanding where behavior-driven demand comes from across assets like grocery-anchored retail, fuel centers, and drive-through formats is a worthwhile starting point for evaluating how these types of allocations may fit within a broader private portfolio.

Credibility earns its value in stressed markets.

In his latest reflection, Encore’s CEO & Chairman, Dr. Bharat Sangani, examines why sponsors must look beyond the term sheet during downturns, prioritizing honesty, alignment, and respect for investor capital, even when contractual rights allow otherwise.

We invite you to join in the conversation on navigating today’s markets with clarity and discipline in the comments below.

In stressed markets, sponsors face more than a financial event; they face a test of credibility.

Private markets are notoriously private. In good times, the status quo stays unexamined, but when the market turns, the "fine print" often becomes a hiding place. Encore’s CEO and Chairman, Dr. Bharat Sangani, is opening the door to the behind-the-scenes reality of private markets and the principles sponsors owe their investors.

While investors are positioned for meaningful upside, they also bear the risk of losing principal. He believes true stewardship is defined by how a sponsor responds when a deal is at risk. He now turns his focus to the responsibility of:
• Honesty over Optics: Choosing the hard truth over a "crafted" update.
• Alignment over Rules: Prioritizing shared outcomes over contractual outs.
• Respect for Time: Providing immediate clarity instead of indefinite extensions.

The difference between a candid update and a polished one is a reflection of a firm’s DNA. These conversations usually happen behind closed doors; we’d rather have them in the open.

Diversification isn’t about owning more assets.
It’s about gaining exposure to assets that behave differently as markets change.
That principle has long influenced how institutional capital is allocated and is reinforced by Morningstar’s research on diversification and risk-adjusted outcomes across market cycles. For a deeper look into Morningstar’s analysis: https://bit.ly/49ZsDpW
