Two major talking points at this year’s New Private Markets Investor Summit: North America were the transformative force of AI and the pressing need for liquidity in private markets portfolios.
While neither of these topics are unique to impact or sustainable investing, they are of paramount importance and dominated discussions on stage and off.
In this episode, Jennifer Kenning, founder and CEO of Align Impact who served as expert chair for day one of the event, joins New Private Markets‘ Toby Mitchenall and Michael Bowen for a 10-minute wrap-up of the event.
Optimism, a common trait of sustainable investors, abounds. “In the political environment we are in today, and how much the space has shifted in the last 12 months, there is a misnomer out there at the moment that it is all negative,” says Kenning, who goes on to delve into reasons why, particularly in the areas of liquidity and AI, there is much to be optimistic about.
