Capital in motion: Repositioning at scale for the next cycle
Monday, May 4, 2026
10-11 a.m. PT
In an increasingly fragmented and fast‑changing global economy, investors and corporate leaders are rethinking capital allocation, portfolio construction, and risk management. Ron O’Hanley joins this panel of leaders from across the financial ecosystem to explore how capital is being deployed at scale, and where new opportunities are emerging as markets, balance sheets, and businesses continue to converge.
The institutional AI shift: Capital, strategy, and execution
Wednesday, May 6, 2026
10-11 a.m. PT
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how value is created in private capital and institutional finance. In this panel, Joerg Ambrosius and other financial leaders explore how firms are reengineering operating models and investment strategies to embed intelligence everywhere from underwriting and risk to client experience and capital deployment.
Accelerating innovation
In our first edition of 2026, we explore the accelerating shift toward institutional digital assets — from our Digital Assets Platform launch to the latest developments in regulation and tokenized markets.
We examine the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and data strategy to reveal why micro-level AI deployments may offer the most effective path to capturing the full AI dividend.
Market uncertainty
Inflation in the United States jumped to 4 percent in March — the highest level since January 2023 — as the State Street PriceStats index rose 1.4 percent month-over-month, its steepest increase since launching in July 2008.
March’s derisking was nuanced, with investors shifting toward US equities while trimming USD hedges instead of adopting a more defensive FX stance.
Reshaping growth
Our research examines the macro forces reshaping retirement systems worldwide and how they are redefining outcomes, system design, and demand across the retirement ecosystem.
