Thoughts to reflect on

Massimiliano Castelli
In a world defined by uncertainty and transformation, sovereign investors need partners who understand their challenges and provide solutions that are both resilient and forward-looking.
The popularity of alternatives among the likes of institutional investors and sovereigns was driven to a significant extent by the low yield environment.
