Navigating the New Normal in Private Markets

Disruptive Forces in Investing

The Private Equity market continues to evolve as investors navigate economic uncertainty, limited liquidity, and trade policy shifts. With challenges from tariffs and moderating distributions, investors are seeking ways to manage risks while uncovering opportunities for growth. But how can private equity firms leverage their agility to capitalize on these dynamics? And what innovations are reshaping access to this asset class?   On this episode of Disruptive Forces, host Anu Rajakumar is joined by David Stonberg, Deputy Head of NB Alternatives and Global Co-Head of Private Equity Co-Investments, to discuss how private equity firms are responding to market pressures. Together, they explore the impact of tariffs, the role of liquidity solutions, and innovations like evergreen funds that are making private equity accessible to retail investors.    Check out our recently published Private Markets Outlook, Private Equity: Capitalizing in the Current Climate to read more about why we believe private equity can help shield investors from negative tariff impacts while delivering long-term portfolio diversification.    This communication is provided for informational and educational purposes only and nothing herein constitutes investment, legal, accounting or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold a security.

Does healthcare deliver for patients? Insights from OECD's PaRIS initiative

For far too long, healthcare performance indicators have centred on inputs—like funding and infrastructure—or processes—like hospital admissions or waiting times—without adequately capturing the experiences and outcomes of the people receiving care. The OECD's PaRIS Survey upends that dynamic, shining a light on how older people with chronic conditions feel about their care, how healthy they really feel, and how their everyday lives are affected. The latest figures are now out: with over 107K patients in over 1800 primary care practices across 19 countries, the survey highlights that living longer doesn't always mean living better, especially if care experiences are poor and chronic conditions aren't managed in a way that reflects patients needs. In this episode of the Behind the Numbers podcast, our host Ashley Ward is joined by OECD Health Economists Frederico Guanais and Michael van den Berg to explore the work behind this innovative survey. Learn how policymakers, healthcare providers, and patients themselves can use these data to drive more people-centred healthcare.

Metropolitan Yevstratiy, the Deputy Head of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine's External Church Relations, accuses the Russian Orthodox Church of being nothing more than an arm of the Kremlin, doing the bidding of President Vladimir Putin, the proverbial 'wolf in sheep's clothing'. In this case, religious vestments, and telling Russian soldiers fighting against Ukraine that if they die in battle, they will immediately go to paradise, all sins forgiven. In 2019, Ukraine's Orthodox Church was granted independence from the Russian Orthodox Church. It caused an uproar in Moscow. Kirill and Putin refused to recognize the authority of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in Constantinople (modern day Istanbul, Turkey) that authorized Ukraine's identity as an Autocephalous Church. That Russia is engaged in a Holy War is not in question. But it's Patriarch Kirill in Moscow, says Yevstratiy, that claims the Russian aggression against Ukraine is for the "Liberation of Ukrainians from Godless West... From the evil." And to, "bring to Ukraine the light and truth."   On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Metropolitan Yevstratiy also reveals a scarier version of the war in Ukraine; that Putin and Kirill want to make Moscow the third and final Rome, labeling the rest of Christianity, Catholics and Protestants alike as heretics and pagans. As President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth look for diplomatic solutions to the war's end, Yevstratiy and His Beatitude Metropolitan Epiphany, the leader of the OCU, are faithful that God Himself will bring an end to the battle.

After heart disease cancer is the leading cause of death in the US. Forty percent of Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Timely diagnosis and treatment of cancer has always been a concern made worse by the COVID pandemic and the ongoing problem of un- and under-insurance. Another reason for concern is the increasing use of networked-based social media sites used to advertise bogus cancer cures, particularly to Generation Z, or those 27 or under, who increasing use social media sites as de facto search engines. Dr. Baker's recent research reveals health disinformation is rife on TikTok via its “For You” algorithm that directs users to fake cures and conspiratorial content via primarily five themes including personal anecdotes, conspiracy theories and spiritual messaging.

It shows that the sanctions slapped on Russia by the G7 have backfired spectacularly and have created massive opportunities with other nations who share a desire to bypass the marketplaces controlled by the American empire. The 2024 BRICS Summit in Kazan wrapped up in late October with a directive to find a way around the Western-led SWIFT banking system, with a CBDC proposed as the solution. Putin also teased a mocked-up BRICS banknote to prep the world for the possibility of a regional gold-backed currency sometime in the future.

In today's episode, we have the first part of a two-part miniseries on risk management, risk mitigation and risk assessment in AI learning tools.  Professor Rose Luckin is away in Australia, speaking internationally, so Rowland Wells takes the reins to chat with Educate Ventures Research team members about their experience managing risk as teachers and developers.  What does a risk assessment look like and whose responsibility is it to take onboard its insights?  Rose joins our discussion group towards the end of the episode, and in the second instalment of the conversation, Rowland sits down with Dr Rajeshwari Iyer of sAInaptic to hear her perspective on risk and testing features of a tool as a developer and CEO herself.    View our Risk Assessments here: https://www.educateventures.com/risk-assessments In the studio: Rowland Wells, Creative Producer, EVR Dave Turnbull, Deputy Head of Educator AI Training, EVR Ibrahim Bashir, Technical Projects Manager, EVR Rose Luckin, CEO & Founder, EVR Talking points and questions include: Who are these for?  what's the profile of the person we want to engage with these risk assessments?  They're concise, easy-to-read, no technical jargon.  But it's still an analysis, for people with a research/evidence mindset.  Many people ignore it: we know that even learning tool developers who put research on their tools ON THEIR WEBSITES do not actually have it read by the public.  So how do we get this in front of people?  Do we lead the conversation with budget concerns?  Safeguarding concerns?  Value for money? What's the end goal of this?  Are you trying to raise the sophistication of conservation around evidence and risk?  Many developers who you critique might just think you're trying to make a name pulling apart their tools.  Surely the market will sort itself out? What's the process involved in making judgements about a risk assessment?  If we're trying to demonstrate to the buyers of these tools, the digital leads in schools and colleges, what to look for, what's the first step?  Can this be done quickly?  Many who might benefit from AI tools might not have the time to exhaustively hunt out all the little details of a learning tool and interpret them themselves?  Schools aren't testbeds for intellectual property or tech interventions.  Why is it practitioners' responsibilities to make these kind of evaluations, even with the aid of these kind of assessments?  Why is the tech and AI sector not capable of regulating their own practices? You've all worked with schools and learning and training institutions using AI tools.  Although this episode is about using the tools wisely, effectively and safely, please tell us how you've seen teaching and learning enhanced with the safe and impactful use of AI

Joe Jones serves as the Director of Research and Insights at the IAPP. Previously, he served as the UK Government's Deputy Head of Digital Trade, where he was responsible for digital policy. Joe also served as a private practice lawyer on international data issues. In this episode… Companies are grappling with the challenges of managing privacy, security, AI, and data governance in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. The IAPP's Organizational Digital Governance Report highlights the challenges businesses face due to “digital entropy” — caused by overlapping laws, rapid technological shifts, and cultural and socio-technical differences, emphasizing the need for organizations to align their governance structures to address these challenges. How can companies navigate these complexities while maintaining compliance and operational efficiency? The IAPP's digital governance report provides insights into how companies can adapt their structures and processes to meet the growing demands of digital governance. It outlines three varying approaches companies are using to navigate digital entropy: the analog model, where companies use their current structures while adding more tasks to existing teams; the augmented model, where companies create new committees or cross-functional teams to define overarching terms for digital governance and policy; and the aligned model, where companies have dedicated roles for digital governance. The report underscores the importance of moving toward a more aligned model, where privacy, security, and AI governance are streamlined under cohesive leadership. This involves empowering privacy teams, implementing regular audits, fostering collaboration across departments, and avoiding reliance on ad hoc committees to align with evolving privacy regulations. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels chat with Joe Jones, Director of Research and Insights at IAPP, about how companies can leverage insights from the IAPP Organizational Digital Governance Report to improve their digital governance frameworks. Joe explains how companies can stay ahead of regulatory changes by embracing more structured governance models. He also emphasizes the need for privacy professionals to act as enablers within organizations, offering guidance on leveraging data responsibly while navigating the growing complexity of privacy regulations.

So far, the resignations include the Foreign Minister, Justice Minister, Strategic Industries Minister, Environmental Protection Minister, a Deputy Prime Minister, a Vice Prime Minister, and the Head of the State Property Fund. Other high-level officials have been outright dismissed, such as the Deputy Head of the Office of the President.

Ukrainian sources have claimed that these resignations and firings are simply a “restructuring”, however much uncertainty abounds due to the sheer number of vacant positions and personnel shifts that have occurred within such a short period of time. This “restructuring” also highlights the fact that Zelensky himself is technically unelected at this point as his own term of office ended in May, with him only remaining in power due to his own  declaration of martial law and thus the cessation of elections.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//
