New video: Investing in innovation – where will the next generation of global winners come from?
For decades, many of the world’s biggest investment success stories were built in the public markets. Today, the environment is now changing, and some of the most innovative and fast-growing businesses are choosing to stay private for longer.
To discuss why private markets are playing an increasingly important role in funding the companies shaping the future, our Chief Investment Strategist, Susannah Streeter, is joined by Charles Roberts of ARK Invest and Tom Fitzherbert-Brockholes of StepStone.
In this conversation they explore everything from healthcare and biotech to robotics, energy and defence, while also discussing what investors could consider when searching for innovative companies. They also cover how AI is accelerating the pace of change by creating entirely new opportunities across industries.
But how can investors separate genuine innovation from media hype? Is AI simply another trend? Where could the technology have its greatest real-world impact? Which sectors are ripe for disruption over the next decade? And why are so many exciting companies choosing to stay in the private market? Watch our discussion below to find out.
