‘Naïef, onterecht en tekenend voor de nieuwe mondiale verhoudingen'. Zo omschrijft Maaike Okano-Heijmans, senior onderzoeker bij instituut Clingendael, de verontwaardigde reacties in het Westen op de weigering van onder meer India positie in te nemen in het Oekraïne-Rusland conflict. Europa dient zich te heroriënteren op een sterker en assertiever global south. En dat heeft gevolgen voor beleggingen, denkt Jeroen Touw, senior portfoliomanager bij Obam. Marije Groen interviewt beiden over de gevolgen van de opkomst van het mondiale zuiden en beleggen in die nieuwe wereldorde.  Investment Officer is an editorially independent media platform in the Benelux countries providing industry news and insights to investment professionals working for asset owners, asset managers and asset servicing companies.

Beleggers kiezen steeds vaker voor beleggingen die passen in megatrends die markten en groei stuwen. Alleen die markten volgen, bijvoorbeeld door te beleggen in indices, past niet in deze visie. In plaats daarvan worden thema's geselecteerd, bijvoorbeeld technologie (inclusief AI), zorg of klimaatverandering. Marije Groen praat in deze podcast met Omar Moufti over dit snelgroeiende fenomeen.

Private debt of senior secured loans zijn in trek bij institutionele beleggers. Ze kunnen hoge rendementen bieden tegen een relatief laag risico. Het geheim van de smid is het kiezen van bedrijven met bedrijven met een duurzaam concurrentievoordeel, relatief ongevoelig voor conjuncturele schommelingen.  Vooral Amerikaanse bedrijven zijn volgens Invesco's portfoliomanager Raman Rajagopal  goed gepositioneerd: minder gevoelig  voor geopolitieke spanningen en flexibelere arbeidsmarkt liggen daaraan ten grondslag.

Beleggen in de transitie naar een koolstofarme economie kan in vele vormen. De variatie wordt veelal gegeven door de verschillende combinaties die mogelijk zijn van doelmatigheid enerzijds en financiële haalbaarheid anderzijds.

Even Ciaran Fitzpatrick, head of ETF servicing Europe at State Street, is surprised to see phenomenally strong growth in true active ETFs this year. The latest generation of ETF products, also dubbed ‘ETF 3.0', is rapidly making its way into portfolios of both institutional and retail investors. The US is leading but Europe is not far behind.Speaking to Investment Officer for this IO Talks podcast, Fitzpatrick observed that while the true active ETFs have been around since 2008, the real growth is happening now. “Over 63 percent of flows in the US last month were into active ETFs, which I don't think anyone expected. This is just huge, you know.”Europe is following the US in the active space, Fitzpatrick said, but at this side of the Atlantic, it is still a small component of the overall ETF market. “You're talking probably shy of 30 billion euro in true active ETF assets across Europe, whereas the overall market is about 1.6 trillion, which is, you know, very significant. The growth has not been as quick as in the US, but Europe is seen to be - I wouldn't say behind the US - but obviously advancing at a different speed.”Investment Officer is an editorially independent media platform in the Benelux countries providing industry news and insights to investment professionals working for asset owners, asset managers and asset servicing companies.

He speaks to speaks to Investment Officer's Raymond Frenken about the global business climate for technology investments, about rising interest rates and inflation, about artificial intelligence, about the new Nato Investment Fund where he serves on the board, and about his qualified enthusiasm for technology. Institutional investment portfolios in Europe could do with more venture capital, especially when it comes to making green impact investments, he said.“It's pretty ridiculous that our institutional investors are not actually investing in that space,” said Van Oranje. “When it comes to the portfolio of investments of Dutch and European institutional investors, venture capital is still far too small. If you compare that to the US, where for instance the Yale Endowment fund has 20 per cent invested, you know, it's a completely different ballpark.

Private debt in Emerging Markets lijkt zich voor een groot deel te onttrekken aan de door inflatie en renteverhogingen gedreven malaise op de financiële markten. Niet zo vreemd, zegt Tim Crijns, want deze leningen financieren vaak ondernemers die voorzien in de basisbehoeften van hun klanten. En de vraag daarnaar is niet volatiel. Crijns is fondsmanager bij Triodos Investment Management en vertelt in deze podcast hoe Triodos met de strategie Financial Inclusion het verbeteren van de levensomstandigheden van grote groepen mensen combineert met het streven naar een fair rendement.Investment Officer is an editorially independent media platform in the Benelux countries providing industry news and insights to investment professionals working for asset owners, asset managers and asset servicing companies.
