Webinar Overview

Headlines are dizzying, from tariffs and Trump to ‘AI bubble’ debates. But long-term outcomes tend to be driven by what matters most: company fundamentals and durable engines of growth. This session explores how digitisation (software, data, compute and networks) keeps expanding the opportunity set, why AI’s biggest winners may be ‘deployers’ (not just capex beneficiaries), and how portfolio construction can help investors ride out uncertainty.

Learning objectives:

Separate signal from noise: identify the fundamental drivers that matter most through volatility and shifting narratives.
Frame AI investably: distinguish capex beneficiaries vs AI deployers, and link each to the durability of their advantage, portfolio risk, and long-term returns.
Connect uncertainty to portfolio construction: explore how portfolio construction can be designed to improve resilience without giving up transformational upside
