What role can alternative investments play in an investor’s portfolio? Anja Nieberding from our Alternatives Capital Formation team and Steven Steyaert from our Multi-Asset Solutions team recently joined the Trends Investment Summit in Brussels to share their views. “Private markets have seen tremendous growth over the last few years”, noted Anja. “With new investment vehicles now available, more investors can participate in the multi-decade trend of capital moving towards private markets”. Addressing how investors can consider #alternatives alongside public assets, Steven Steyaert added: “private assets can play a complementary role to public investments in an investor’s overall asset allocation, potentially enhancing risk-adjusted returns and offering diversification benefits to traditional asset classes.” Discover more of our insights into alternative investing: http://ms.spr.ly/6048cUWQi

One of my all-time favourite topics in the intersection of impact and investing: what does it actually mean for an investment to be "sustainable" in 2024? There exists a myriad of metrics and KPIs to play around with, but what do they really tell? The assumptions behind different definitions of "sustainable" are fascinating. Does abstaining from a black list of activities commonly viewed as unacceptable make a fund sustainable? What about incrementally decreasing negative impacts (regardless of whether said decreasing bears realistic potential of making the whole net positive)? Look forward to discussing these topics with Keimpe Keuning and Volodymyr Mykhatskyi!
