Howard Marks says he used AI tool Perplexity to help write his latest memo
Howard Marks says he enlisted Perplexity, an AI tool, to help write his latest memo. It laid out how he thinks regulations have distorted California's fire insurance market, reducing coverage. Marks still included colorful commentary from himself and wisdom from Warren Buffett. Howard Marks' memos are considered must-reads by many in the financial world, including Warren Buffett. Perplexity, an AI-powered search engine, helped write a chunk of his latest missive. Marks, the billionaire co-founder and co-chairman of Oaktree Capital Management, has been writing memos for 35 years and turns 80 next year. That makes it perhaps a little surprising that he's drafted in a machine as a contributor. "In a sign of the times, I'll let my new (and AI-powered) editorial assistant, Perplexity, fill you in on the background," Marks said in a Wednesday memo titled "More on Repealing the Laws of Economics." The veteran fund manager said he hadn't "changed a word" of Perplexity's output, which was "pretty close to what I would have produced in an hour or two." In support of his argument for free-market economics and less government intervention, Marks roped in the AI tool to lay out his view that regulations have distorted the fire insurance sector in California, resulting in widespread underinsurance. "As Perplexity notes, insurers were told they couldn't price fire policies to reflect increases in the frequency and severity of forest fires," Marks said. "Likewise, they couldn't raise prices to pass through the higher premiums their reinsurers were charging based on the increased frequency and severity." The distressed-debt investor asked whether a hypothetical insurer would cover a $5 million house with a 1% chance of burning down if the regulator only allowed it to charge $25,000 a year for a policy. "I didn't need Perplexity to tell me the insurance company faces an expected payout of $50,000 on that policy," Marks said. "The answer's simple: you don't write that policy." AI tools are divisive. Proponents hail them as productivity boosters that will free workers from mundane tasks and supercharge economic growth. Critics fear they'll stymie learning and development, erode skills, and destroy so many jobs that they cause mass unemployment. Marks may have embraced AI but he still finds value in human wisdom. In his new memo, he quoted Buffett saying the US fiscal deficit was "unsustainable" and could become "uncontrollable" during Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting in May. The Wall Street legend also included his own colourful, incisive comments: "The behavior in Washington with regard to both the fiscal deficit and the precariousness of Social Security remind me of the tale of the guy who jumped off the 20-story building. As he passed the 10th floor, he said, 'so far, so good.'" Marks may be in his golden years and as skeptical of high-flying assets as ever, yet seems open-minded about innovations. For example, he went from dismissing bitcoin as "not real" in 2017, to trumpeting its privacy and convenience in 2021 after learning about cryptocurrencies from his son. He's clearly finding uses for AI too.

Campus Fund Launches Third Fund of $100 Million
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India: Campus Fund , India's pioneering and only SEBI-registered AIF Category II venture capital fund dedicated exclusively to student – and college dropout-led startups, has announced the launch of its third and largest fund, a $100 million corpus. With more than 50% of the fund already committed, the fund has completed its first close and has already made two early investments. Founded by serial entrepreneur Richa Bajpai, Campus Fund reimagines venture capital by backing first-time founders while they are still in university, have dropped out of college, or are within three years of graduation. After co-founding Goodera (backed by Nexus, Omidyar, Elevation, and Binny Bansal), Richa developed the Campus Fund thesis while studying at London Business School in 2020. What began as a humble experiment has now evolved into a $100 million institutional platform powering India's next generation of builders. 'Campus Fund is not just a VC firm — it's a movement to unlock the genius scattered across campuses,' said Richa. 'With Fund III, we double down on our conviction that student founders aren't just dreamers — they're doers, redefining the future from dorm rooms, garages, and labs.' Richa began her own entrepreneurial journey in 2009, during her final year of engineering. 'This is a full-circle moment for me,' she added. 'I started in a dorm room with nothing but an idea and ambition. To now back students chasing bold ideas — that's the most meaningful chapter of my career.' Today's student founders aren't limited to elite institutions. They're emerging from Tier 2 and Tier 3 colleges, small towns, and unconventional backgrounds. Many are college dropouts who've chosen to build. As knowledge becomes more accessible, Fund III aims to democratize access to capital. 'The next unicorn may not come from Silicon Valley or Bengaluru — it might come from a hostel room in Bhopal or a garage in Surat,' Richa added. Campus Fund operates with a network of 100+ student scouts across universities and evaluates over 7,000 startups annually. Fund III will invest in up to 60 startups over the next four years, writing initial cheques ranging from Rs. 1 crore to Rs. 8 crore, with 50% of the fund earmarked for follow-on investments. Campus Fund has previously backed companies such as Expand My Business (managed marketplace for Digital Services), Digantara (space situational awareness), EtherealX (fully reusable rockets), Sama (online dispute resolution), D-Nome (decentralized genomics infrastructure), Sarla (flying taxis), GreenGrahi (insect protein), among many others. Several of these startups have gone on to raise follow-on capital from marquee global investors, including Peak XV Partners, Accel, a16z, AlphaWave, and DST Global. Fund III is supported by a diverse mix of family offices, successful entrepreneurs, industrialists, and financial institutions — including 360 One — with many Limited Partners re-upping after Fund II. Notable backers include Kanwaljit Singh, Founder of Fireside Ventures; Bharat Shah, Co-founder of HDFC Bank; Jaimin Bhatt, former Group CFO of Kotak Mahindra Bank; Asha Jadeja Motwani, first investor in Google; and Sameen Farooqui, Global Head of FX at Deutsche Bank. With this momentum, Campus Fund cements its position as India's most active early-stage backer of youth-led innovation — and a bold blueprint for venture capital in emerging markets. Backing student and dropout founders is no longer just a visionary bet — it's one of the smartest investments of this decade. The returns are not just financial, but generational.
