Happy to be invited at today Euronext Annual Conference 2025 in #Paris. Euronext Annual Conference 2025 brought forward some compelling discussions about the need to channel private savings into European equity markets to boost economic growth. Key takeaways: ✅ Energy, Security, and Geo-Strategy (a new ESG concept) are now central themes in financial strategy (Stephane Boujnah, Euronext). ✅ US investments in Capex & R&D (including #AI) have outpaced Europe by +76% in 2022, compared to almost equal levels in 2010. Meanwhile, the market cap of the top 10 European banks is roughly the same as JP Morgan alone ✅ European investors hold over 60% in debt, while US investors hold almost 50% in equity, indicating different investment cultures (Sébastien LACROIX, McKinsey). ✅ Pension funds in Europe have a much smaller role in asset management compared to the US. Increasing their stake in equity markets could boost European public market liquidity and secure the future of retired people (Federico Cornelli) ✅ For the first time over years Capital is flowing from the US to Europe thanks to this crisis moment The underlying message? Europe must unlock capital from private savings and pension funds to fuel equity investments and drive economic resilience, also to re-shape its geo position vs US. A key challenge but also an opportunity for policymakers and investors. Broletto Corporate Advisory Valori Asset Management Finance 4 Growth
