First Draft Live: What Your Investment Committee Wishes You Knew

Welcome Back to First Draft Live

THIS WEEK ... 

Tariffs. Venezuela. A Fed under political pressure. The noise is loud, but the real impact is somewhere else: inside investment committees and credit rooms quietly resetting how risk gets approved.
This episode goes where the decisions actually happen. Underwriting is tighter. Holds are longer. Structure is doing the work. Office, multifamily and data centers are active, but conviction is selective — and plenty of deals still stall.
 

We’ll break down how today’s shocks are being absorbed in real time: what clears IC, what doesn’t and how a market without panic is still being fundamentally repriced.
