 As we begin 2025, we remain cognizant of the advancements and challenges that continue to shape the private markets sector. We also wish to thank our 100+ respondents to our annual private markets survey.
In this edition, we delve into the latest trends and innovations shaping the private markets landscape. Private markets firms are actively evaluating AI as a tool for the future. This is in line with the tech-based outlook for the sector, as indicated in fintech. Infrastructure investment firms remain pivotal as they shape global infrastructure through strategic investments in renewable energy, technology and transport. Sustainability is at the forefront, with private markets firms aligning portfolios with net-zero goals to drive sustainable investment. We also explore the rise of catastrophe bonds, offering investors unique opportunities to diversify while addressing risk from natural disasters.
While closely monitoring the marketplace, our focus would remain on serving our clients. Our ESG portfolio of services has already made a significant impact. As we move forward in 2025, we are also excited to announce the upcoming release of our landmark annual survey of private markets. This comprehensive report will offer invaluable insights into sector operations, including middle office and back-office functions. As always, we strive to ensure your success. We hope you enjoy reading this edition of our newsletter!
