John Bowman, CEO of CAIA Association, returns to Alternative Allocations to discuss the ideas behind his groundbreaking report, "The World Rewired", and what they mean for the future of investing. Tony and John explore how AI is reshaping investment firms, how private markets are becoming increasingly accessible to individual investors, and what the rise of evergreen funds, tokenization, and the growing opportunity for private markets in retirement portfolios means for advisors and clients alike. They also examine the increasing convergence of public and private markets, the changing role of investor education, and why systems thinking—not just technical expertise—will define the next generation of investment professionals. 

John was appointed CEO for the CAIA Association in January 2025. He has devoted 30 years to the asset management industry to recover the narrative of the value that the investment profession brings to society. He is a staunch public advocate for market integrity, long-termism, investor outcomes, diversity, human dignity and educational standards, as necessary ingredients to building a sustainable and healthy profession. John previously served as Managing Director for the Americas for CFA Institute, a region comprised of 40+ countries from Canada, the U.S., Central America, South America and the Caribbean. Before that, John was a portfolio manager for non-US equity strategies at both Boston Company and SSgA for several years. John is a prolific, speaker, writer and commentator, frequently keynoting industry conferences and appearing in investment and business publications such as the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Pension and Investments, Financial Advisor, The Independent, Wealthmanagement.com and CNBC. Bowman earned a BS in Business Administration from Mary Washington College and is a CFA charterholder.
