Last month, Kees de Wit and Tom van Disseldorp travelled to Sorrento, Italy, at the invitation of Objectway for OWIN26. During this multi-day event, they engaged with C-level leaders and senior decision-makers from across the European financial services industry.

Last month, our colleagues Kees de Wit and Tom van Disseldorp travelled to Sorrento, Italy, at the invitation of Objectway for OWIN26. During this multi-day event, they engaged with senior leaders from across the European financial services industry on the future of operating models, partnerships, and innovation. In this episode, host Tom van Disseldorp speaks with Karl de Borger (Head of Sales and Relationship Management at KBC Securities Services), Thomas de Nil (Head of Savings and Investments at vdk bank), and Kurt Vanhee (CEO Continental Europe at Objectway) about what it takes to build successful partnerships in an increasingly complex financial ecosystem.

As tensions in the Middle East intensified over the weekend, investors have been retreating toward traditional safe havens, such as oil, gold, the US dollar, and US Treasuries. The conflict's ripple effects are also being felt unevenly across regions, from Europe and the US to China. Robeco's Colin Graham takes a multi‑asset lens to the situation, exploring how markets are reacting and what those signals might mean for investors.

Ask me a QHello Bright Minds, this is the third of three bonus episodes of season nine where I'm lifting the lid on what the people I and my colleagues coach, actually get from coaching. I'm Jessica Chivers, a chartered coaching psychologist and executive coach of 20 years. I'm the founder of a boutique coaching business called The Talent Keeper Specialists, and this year we turned 13 and completely refreshed our website. We added a new page called Success Stories where you can watch short films of real coachees honestly reflecting on their experiences of executive coaching. You're about to hear from three women in the world of asset management; Meena Santhosh, Selina Tyler and Karina Langan. I first worked with Meena when she was at BlackRock and we've had three coaching engagements – one after each of her three maternity leaves and she's now at Robeco. And then you'll hear from Selina Tyler who's had fantastic career progression since we first worked together when she was at Federated Hermes. She's now the Head of UK at Jupiter Asset Management. Both Meena and Selina had their coaching paid for by their employers and you can watch more success stories and read about the five professionals we coach at www.talentkeepers.co.uk. The third person you'll hear from is Karina Lanagan, who is the Head of HR at TT International, another asset management client of The Talent Keeper Specialists. Karina talks about the power of comeback coaching from an employer perspective and the positive ripple on line managers.I hope it's a useful listen and as ever, if you have questions or comments you can e-mail me jc@talentkeepers.co.uk or DM on Instagram using the handle @comebackcommuk. MORE FOR YOU DM Jessica on instagram @comebackcommuk Get Jessica's FREE fortnightly note, Pivotal.

Our continuing exploration of the intersection of private wealth and alternatives takes us to Future Standard, one of the largest distribution platforms bringing the wealth channel exposure to the middle markets. Michael Kelly is Co-President and Chief Investment Officer of Future Standard, a $90 billion alternative asset manager focused on private middle-market strategies for the wealth channel. Michael has been in the alternatives industry for three decades, starting as an analyst under Lee Cooperman and Julian Robertson, helping build FrontPoint Partners, which began the institutionalization of hedge funds, serving as CEO of ORIX USA, where he led the acquisition of $250 billion global asset manager Robeco, and for the last decade turning to the democratization of alternatives. Our conversation covers Michael's path from working in hedge funds to building alternative asset businesses, including lessons about incentives, leadership, and culture. We then discuss his pivot from the institutional market to the wealth channel, and the growth from a single strategy at Franklin Square with $12 billion in assets to a full suite of strategies under the rebranded Future Standard with $90 billion across private credit, private equity, real estate, infrastructure, and multi-asset investing. Michael also shares his views on performance expectations and what the flood of new capital means for the institutional market.

In this episode, Nathan Fabian, Chief Sustainable Systems Officer at the PRI, explores the deep interconnection between climate and nature and what it means for investors. Joining him are Laura Bosch, Senior Engagement Specialist at Robeco and member of the Advisory Committee for the PRI's Spring Initiative, and Graham Stock, Managing Director at RBC BlueBay Asset Management and co-chair of the Investor Policy Dialogue on Deforestation (IPDD). Together, they unpack the financial and systemic risks of biodiversity loss, the emerging opportunities in sustainable investment, and the growing need for investors to act on the climate–nature nexus during COP30 and beyond.Overview The conversation begins by defining the climate-nature nexus as more than a conceptual link it's an integrated system of feedback loops that shape economies, markets, and societies. Graham explains how deforestation and ecosystem degradation feed directly into sovereign credit risk, citing Brazil's forests as a clear example of natural capital underpinning national economic stability. Laura expands on how biodiversity loss and climate change are mutually reinforcing crises that require investors to tackle transition and physical risks together.Both guests highlight a shift in the industry: from separate approaches to climate and nature, to joint strategies that embed nature-based metrics within climate targets and net-zero roadmaps.Detailed CoverageRisks and Opportunities: Investors must assess both the risks of ecosystem degradation and the opportunities from nature-positive transitions. Integrating climate and nature goals is becoming standard in frameworks such as the Net Zero Investment Framework and GFANZ guidance.Portfolio Application: Graham outlines how sovereign bond investors now evaluate nature-related risks such as water stress and deforestation alongside traditional macroeconomic indicators, using these insights to shape portfolio exposure and engagement priorities.Corporate Action: Laura details Robeco's approach to assessing corporate transition readiness for both climate and biodiversity, combining financial materiality with forward-looking analytics. Their “traffic light” model identifies leaders and laggards, informing investment decisions and stewardship priorities.Balancing Trade-offs: The discussion explores how investors can navigate trade-offs between climate and nature goals - for instance, balancing the climate benefits of electric vehicle production with the biodiversity impacts of mining.Reversing Negative Impacts: Case studies highlight solutions such as regenerative agriculture, silvopasture, and precision farming to restore land and reduce emissions while sustaining productivity.Collaborative Engagement: Graham and Laura describe the impact of large-scale initiatives such as the IPDD, Nature Action 100, and the PRI's Spring Initiative—each mobilizing investors to engage with governments and corporations on deforestation and biodiversity loss.COP30 and Beyond: Both guests underscore the importance of the upcoming COP30 in Brazil, where the Tropical Forest Financing Facility (TFFF) could redefine climate finance by channeling $125 billion to forest protection.Find out more about the PRI at COP30 by visiting www.unpri.org/responsible-investment/road-to-cop30 Chapters 00:00 – Introduction: The climate–nature nexus 02:32 – Graham Stock on integrating nature risk into sovereign...

Pim van Vliet is on a mission to put the low volatility factor on the map. In his role as Head of Conservative Equities and Chief Quantitative Strategist at Robeco, he focuses on leveraging the effect of low-risk investing. Pim has also published a book, High Returns From Low Risk: A Remarkable Stock Market Paradox, where he unpacks some of the key aspects that guide his work and underpin his success. During this conversation, Pim shares his insights on volatility, the changing market, and combining low-risk with other traditional factors. He equips listeners with key considerations for evaluating strategies or products when allocating low-risk and offers his perspective on out-of-sample-testing, distinguishing between global-factor and cross-sectional premiums, and more. Listeners will get Pim's perspective on the pros and cons of the Sharpe ratio, and we examine risk-adjusted returns on long and short legs before hearing his Fama-French Five Factor Model analysis. We touch on inflation and gold, and finally, Pim shares his inspiring perspective on success in his financial and personal life.

Today I speak with Pim van Vliet, Head of Conservative Equities at Robeco.It will come as no surprise, to those who know Pim's work, that we spend the majority of this conversation talking about conservative investing. Specifically, we discuss the low volatility anomaly. But rather than rehash the usual high level talking points, I wanted to dig into the more practical considerations.For example, how are low volatility and low beta different? How do selection and allocation effects contribute to low volatility investing? Are low volatility and quality actually different anomalies? And how should we think about the influence of currency in a global low volatility portfolio? While Pim has nearly three dozen research publications to his name, he provides the balanced perspective of a practitioner, acknowledging the practical limitations to managing money in the real world.Please enjoy my conversation with Pim van Vliet.

BIO: Laurens Swinkels is an Associate Professor of Finance at Erasmus University in Rotterdam and Executive Director and Head of Quant Strategy at Robeco's Sustainable Multi-Asset Strategies team.STORY: Lauren bought a house in Rotterdam. Just five years later, he had to move to Norway. Laurens managed to sell the house in the Netherlands many years later at a loss.LEARNING: Liquidity is very important even when investing long-term. Remove emotions from your decision-making. “Even though you're a long-term investor and you think you're really long-term, there may be things that cross your path that require liquidity.”Laurens Swinkels Guest profileLaurens Swinkels is an Associate Professor of Finance at Erasmus University in Rotterdam and Executive Director and Head of Quant Strategy at Robeco's Sustainable Multi-Asset Strategies team. His areas of expertise include allocation research and empirical asset pricing. He teaches Finance courses and has published his academic work in peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Financial Economics. Laurens holds a Ph.D. in Finance and a Master's in Econometrics from Tilburg University in the Netherlands.Worst investment everWhen Laurens started his masters in Tilburg, Netherlands, he decided to move out of his parent's home. He was torn between buying an apartment and renting one because the real estate prices were quite favorable for buyers then. He decided to rent since he would only be in school for a few years.After completing his master's, Laurens decided to do a Ph.D. and stayed another five years in Tilburg. He was still renting his apartment. After graduating, Laurens moved to Amsterdam, where the house prices were unimaginably high. Hoping that the prices would go down, he rented an apartment. But the prices just kept going up. Laurens had to commute daily from Amsterdam to Rotterdam. After getting tired of the commute, Laurens decided to buy a house in Rotterdam, where the prices were lower than in Amsterdam.Laurens didn't foresee that he would have to move to Norway five years after that decision. At this point, the house he'd bought was 25% underwater. The investment in this house made a large part of his wealth, so taking a 25% loss was tough for Laurens. He managed to sell the house only two years ago.Lessons learnedThe liquidity that allows you to sell and buy a house in another location whenever you want is very valuable.Even when you're investing long-term, liquidity is still essential.Remove emotions from your decision-making.Andrew's takeawaysBuying a house is a trap because you may lack liquidity.Home buying comes with the risk of not realizing the final capital gain that you thought you would.Actionable adviceIf you're not yet ready to buy a home or don't know where to buy, you can first get exposure to real estate through listed markets.Lauren's recommendationsLaurens recommends his data page on the university website, where you can download datasets if you want to do number crunching when investing. You can also check out Google Scholar or SSRN, where people post their latest thoughts. You can set alerts and get notified when papers on topics you're interested in are published. If you don't have the time for that, there are several people, like

Today's episode kicks off with an overview of the recent stress we've seen in financial markets and the implications for your portfolio. He shares why he's cautious but not bearish, and why he agrees with recent guest Mike Wilson that the earnings recession isn't priced in yet. We also touch on the role of gold in portfolios, the set up for high yield bonds, and why he thinks the housing market may see a steep decline in the next year.

He came across a Dutch company, Tulip Computers, the second biggest PC seller, next to IBM in the Netherlands.Jeroen didn't know anything about the company besides what they did. He looked in the newspaper and ranked the company's 12-month performance from high to low. He figured it was a good investment. His genuine belief was this is how you make the most money.The company reported a loss of $27 million in the same year Jeroen invested. In 1979 that was a very massive loss. Then the company went bankrupt, and Jeroen lost his entire investment.Lessons learned90% of investors don't know the actual outlook of a company, even if they're experienced in reading a balance sheet.Though difficult, invest in a couple of companies based on their fundamentals.Diversify your portfolio.Andrew's takeawaysJust like investors, most companies also don't know their actual outlook.Actionable adviceDiversify your portfolio and limit your risk by buying more companies or investing less.Jeroen's recommendationsJeroen recommends using information and research that's already been done by others.

BIO: Pim van Vliet is Head of Conservative Equities and Chief Quant Strategist at Robeco. He is responsible for a wide range of global, regional, and sustainable low-volatility strategies.STORY: Pim wanted to make more money investing, so he decided to go all in on a cheap stock. He believed the price would eventually go up as it had done a few years back. Unfortunately, the company went bankrupt, and Pim lost 75% of his investment.LEARNING: Don't be overconfident and over-optimistic when investing. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean you have to buy it. “I thought taking risks gives you a return. That's not always the case. Taking more risk could give you a lower return.”Pim van Vliet Guest profilePim van Vliet is Head of Conservative Equities and Chief Quant Strategist at Robeco. He is responsible for a wide range of global, regional, and sustainable low-volatility strategies. He specializes in low-volatility investing, asset pricing, and quantitative finance.He is the author of numerous academic research papers and various books.Worst investment everPim has been fascinated with money-saving ever since he was a small kid. His father was an entrepreneur who had a family business. Growing up, Pim would sometimes work at the family business and save the money he made in a savings account. He would get good interest. He learned about the compounding of interest in the process. As Pim learned more about saving, he decided to go into a mutual bond fund to earn more return on his money. Now he would make an 8% yield, up from 6%.This was during the 90s when the stock market became increasingly popular. The newspapers started to write more about it. Pim was getting a bit bored by mutual bond funds because he wanted to make more money. Bonds were just very low, volatile, and boring. Being an eager kid, Pim started to follow the news and learned about a Dutch aircraft manufacturer trading for $13. He researched and discovered that the stock price had once been $40, so it was cheap he thought.Pim believed the stock price would return to $40, so he invested in it. His advisor at the bank cautioned him against investing in just one stock. But of course, Pim was overconfident that the stock price would only go up. So he put a sizeable amount of his wealth into this one stock. Then things went sour. The stock price went down and down. The company eventually went bankrupt. Luckily, Pim could get out at $3 but lost 75% of his investment.Lessons learnedDon't be overconfident and over-optimistic when investing.It's more important to protect your downside than to keep your upside.Andrew's takeawaysJust because it's cheap doesn't mean you have to buy it.Don't go all in on one stock.As an individual investor, having more than 10 stocks would be overwhelming. And to have less than five would leave you with too much risk if any of them went bad. So invest in 10 stocks and put stop losses on them.Actionable adviceIf you're young, take some risks. Risks allow you to learn even if you don't get a reward for it in investing. So take some controlled risks with the objective of learning instead of becoming rich.Pim's recommendationsPim recommends reading good investment books that are time-tested such as Benjamin Graham's books and
