Principal Investor Perspectives highlights potential future paths of AI and an increased focus on innovation capital
Shifting sentiment around artificial intelligence, private credit concerns and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, are key themes examined in the latest edition of Principal Investor Perspectives. While the supply shock linked to the conflict in Iran is expected to fade, the macro environment has arguably become more complex. Consequently, investment portfolios require a combination of strategic robustness and tactical agility.
The publication examines how investors have begun reducing exposure to companies perceived as being structurally disadvantaged by AI despite limited evidence of widespread business disruption or job displacement to date. However, distinguishing short‑term concerns from the longer‑term trajectory of technological progress remains essential.
Another central theme of this edition is the expanding role of venture and growth capital in accessing the next generation of technology disruptors. In this context, the LGT Endowment is increasing its allocation to innovation‑driven growth opportunities within private equity.
