Episode 43: The Great Liquidity Gap - Secondary Energy Interests -- Greg Reid, President of Real Assets, Senior Portfolio Manager at Westwood Holdings Group, Inc.

My guest today is Greg Reid, President and Senior Portfolio Manager of Real Assets at Westwood Holdings, a publicly held investment firm with over $18b in assets under management. For most of his thirty year career, Greg has led energy infrastructure businesses. And as you’ll hear from his accent and style, Greg is the consummate Texas oil and gas man. 

This is a fascinating time for traditional energy investment. Post-financial crisis, energy investment was a place of capital excess. Soon enough the boom busted and many institutional investors found ESG religion and fully halted allocations. Traditional energy was left for dead. After ten years in the investment desert, many of the remaining institutional investors are throwing in the towel and selling what they have left. The surviving energy companies tend to be lean, capital efficient and valued appropriately. This disconnect between the supply of high quality, energy assets and the weak demand from capital providers provides an attractive landscape, particularly in secondary markets. As our go-to Texas energy expert, Greg is the perfect guest for this conversation.
