Higher interest rates, evolving policy priorities, and rapid advances in artificial intelligence are reshaping the investment landscape. Yet despite these challenges, the economy has remained remarkably resilient, defying expectations and creating new opportunities across both public and private markets.
At the same time, the role of private capital continues to expand. As companies remain private for longer and private capital finances a larger share of economic activity, an increasing amount of value creation is occurring outside of public markets. In our view, these developments may be prompting investors to rethink traditional portfolio construction and consider how private markets can provide access to a broader set of opportunities.
In this edition of In Conversation, Shane Clifford, Head of Global Wealth, sits down with Jason Thomas, Head of Global Research & Investment Strategy, to discuss economic resilience, the affordability challenge, AI's impact on the real economy, and why in his view the long-term case for private markets remains compelling.
