The crisis in Ukraine has exposed key vulnerabilities in the world’s energy mix, bringing the issues of energy security, affordability, and resilience to the fore. However, this also heightens the near-term risks to energy transition and the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

Navigating Rates

Navigating Rates

To stay focused on their goals, investors may need to reposition portfolios to factor in higher interest rates, shifting inflation expectations, and fluctuating exchange rates. Volatility will likely persist in the coming months, with tighter monetary policy uncovering weak points as industries feel the impact of higher borrowing costs. Investors may struggle to find safe havens and, with only limited visibility of how markets will develop, expectations could be upended. But we are also confident this environment can create opportunities. Diversification is key – across public and private markets – and we have the ideas and expertise to help you navigate the complexity.

Embracing Disruption

Embracing Disruption

We think it’s time to disrupt traditional definitions of “disruption”. Once a story for the tech sector, disruption is now all-encompassing. And while technology and AI may be driving many of the changes, this new wave of disruption could shape every aspect our daily lives. The implications will be profound and exponential – and many of the themes arising from Covid-19 will likely be permanent fixtures.
