Eric’s focus is on helping GVA bridge that gap. The GVA Private Fund Initiative - The goal is to provide exposure to private equity, credit, real estate, infrastructure, and hedge funds. This semi-liquid structure is designed to offer diversification while maintaining a long-term investment mindset. Evolving the 60/40 Portfolio - With markets shifting, traditional allocations are changing. Institutions are increasingly adopting 60/30/10 models, incorporating alternatives for diversification and inflation protection. GVA’s approach brings that same innovation to our advisor network.
