In focus

Global unrest and geopolitical matters  

The outset of 2024 has been marked by global conflicts and geopolitical crises, stirring concern among investors. Nicolò Miscioscia, Partner and Head of Private Markets at Decalia, points out a “disturbing accustomization to existing and prospective armed conflicts.” This apprehension resonates with Marc de Kloe, Partner at Theta Capital Management, who expresses unease about the upcoming 12 months, citing “global unrest and escalation of conflicts.”

The two faces of AI

Describing one of this year’s challenges as the 'uncharted territory of AI social impact,' Nicolò Miscioscia, highlights the nuanced nature of the tool that holds the potential for both positive and negative outcomes. Natasha Franks expands on this: “Artificial Intelligence is also poised to further integrate into business operations across the industry, offering the potential for greater efficiency in portfolio management”.

ESG and Impact goals

2024 will be the year for impact funds to grow and ESG reporting capabilities to consolidate, as regulatory pressure starts to materialize in Europe. “This year, we’ll be running our third annual ESG reporting campaign, in addition to raising our SFDR Article 9 Impact Fund-of-Funds. Over the past year, ESG reporting standards have matured rapidly from a supplementary exercise to an industry-wide obligation, and we’re pleased to see this trend reflected in the continuous improvement of our fund managers”, says Natasha Franks from Alpha Associates.
