Opportunistic Real Estate and Hard Asset Credit at Mavik – Vik Uppal (EP.525)

Vik Uppal is the Founder and CIO of Mavik Capital Management, a $2 billion flexible special situations investment firm grounded in commercial real estate and hard assets that operates through a credit lens. Vik began developing properties as a teenager and after a difficult experience during the financial crisis, moved to New York to begin a career as a professional investor.   Our conversation covers Vik's path from developer to distressed investor and the principles he built Mavik around: stable capital, alignment, flexibility, and finding opportunities where capital is scarce. We discuss filtering a wide funnel for ideas, creating downside protection, identifying opportunities in commercial real estate, avoiding the AI infrastructure boom, and growing an investment business without losing its edge.   Learn More Follow Ted on X at @tseides or LinkedIn Subscribe to the mailing list (https://capitalallocators.com/) Access Transcript with Premium Membership (https://capitalallocators.com/signup)   Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant (https://thepodcastconsultant.com)
