Key areas of focus
Over the past year, my focus has been on strengthening the effectiveness and analytical depth of our research.
We have enhanced our fund evaluation framework with a more robust scoring methodology, refreshed our dedicated research hub to improve how we share insights across the multi‑asset desk, and begun integrating agentic AI to support deeper and more efficient analysis within our due‑diligence process. Together, these improvements are designed to enable faster, more consistent decision‑making and a richer understanding of manager capabilities.
A major area of progress has been the expansion and formalisation of our external manager research capability across private markets. This includes broadening our coverage across private equity, private credit, and real assets; enhancing our private‑markets research framework; and developing a more structured and comprehensive map of the manager universe.
