Investment Officer

Grote beloftes, sensationele missers: beleggen in de technologiesector is niet altijd goed voor de bloeddruk. Het financieren van AI zal daarop geen uitzondering zijn, zo suggereren de eerste ervaringen. Geldt dat ook voor de private equity (pe) beleggingen in deze sector? In deze podcast praat Marije Groen met Pierre Stadler en Stanislas Chanavat van Pictet Alternative Advisors over de selectie van pe-managers. Pierre leidt het thematische pe-team, dat bestaat uit specialisten in de domeinen zorg, milieu en technologie. Stanislas geeft leiding aan het technologie-team.

De ontwikkelingen op het gebied van AI gaan zo snel, dat beleggers voor een groot deel nog in het duister tasten wat betreft de concrete economische gevolgen van deze nieuwe technologische revolutie. Ongetwijfeld gaat die veel waarde toevoegen, maar waar precies? Wie zullen de winnaars zijn? Daarover spreekt Marije Groen met Sander Zondag, chief investment officer van OBAM.

Even Ciaran Fitzpatrick, head of ETF servicing Europe at State Street, is surprised to see phenomenally strong growth in true active ETFs this year. The latest generation of ETF products, also dubbed ‘ETF 3.0’, is rapidly making its way into portfolios of both institutional and retail investors. The US is leading but Europe is not far behind.

Speaking to Investment Officer for this IO Talks podcast, Fitzpatrick observed that while the true active ETFs have been around since 2008, the real growth is happening now. “Over 63 percent of flows in the US last month were into active ETFs, which I don’t think anyone expected. This is just huge, you know.”

Europe is following the US in the active space, Fitzpatrick said, but at this side of the Atlantic, it is still a small component of the overall ETF market. “You’re talking probably shy of 30 billion euro in true active ETF assets across Europe, whereas the overall market is about 1.6 trillion, which is, you know, very significant. The growth has not been as quick as in the US, but Europe is seen to be - I wouldn’t say behind the US - but obviously advancing at a different speed.”

In this IO Talks podcast interview, Peter Hughes, CEO and founder of Apex Group, and Pierre Weimerskirch, its Luxembourg head, discussed the firm’s strategic ambitions in Luxembourg, highlighting the region’s increasing dominance in the global investment landscape.

Hughes noted that despite Apex's global presence with over 100 offices, Luxembourg stands out in its strategic significance. "People want Luxembourg structures," he stated plainly, emphasising the jurisdiction's ascent in the investment world over the past decade.

Discussing the operational intricacies, Weimerskirch characterised Luxembourg as an essential “inbound jurisdiction.” The increasing volume of inbound business mandates a robust platform in Luxembourg, which integrates seamlessly with major financial hubs.

“Luxembourg is really an inbound jurisdiction for the business. We have to be best friends, with our colleagues in London, in New York, in Singapore, or wherever in the world. As Peter just said, it's just a global business. And Luxembourg is a platform for doing this global business,” said Weimerskirch.

Global warming is arguable the most existential threat, but the consequences of a fast top-down western led energy transition fails.
