E181: Why Portfolio Construction Beats Manager Selection w/$7 Billion CIO

In this episode, I speak with T.C. Wilson, Chief Investment Officer of The Doctors Company (TDC Group), the nation's largest physician-owned medical malpractice insurer with $7 billion in assets under management. T.C. shares how he built an internal investment office, how insurance investing differs from endowment and foundation models, and why he treats surplus like an endowment portfolio. We dive into his framework for portfolio construction, his views on innovation in asset management, the underrated value of evergreen structures, and the specific ways GPs can tailor their approach to win over insurance LPs. T.C. also shares why he’s cautious on large-cap private equity, how he thinks about downside protection, and what extreme ownership has taught him as a leader. If you want to learn how a CIO with decades of experience invests across public and private markets with an eye toward solvency, surplus growth, and long-term resilience, you’ll want to listen to this one.
