Beyond Wall Street (BWS) is an opportunity to learn about alternative investing and to be on the cutting edge of the next wave of finance. We interview fund managers and investors who have special insight into an area of investing that is typically not part of the mainstream of stocks, bonds and other public market securities. 

It was created by Jan Brzeski who started his first private debt fund making real estate loans in 2010. In speaking with investors, he realized most investors don’t understand alternative investing, and feel overwhelmed by the risks of departing from the mainstream in any way. Jan believes their caution is well-justified, but that the answer is to learn the facts, rather than to avoid the whole category and settle for whatever returns the market may bring. 

Our goal is to really understand what makes these different strategies work--and to get a realistic view of what risks are involved. We also embrace the democratization of finance, so technology and strategies that can disrupt the status quo are of special interest to us.
