The energy transition is no longer just a technology, but an execution story. Solar can deliver speed and competitive costs, while nuclear offers reliable baseload power. Yet both face significant real-world constraints. We explore how project execution, grid constraints, climate risks, and operational readiness shape energy project outcomes and ultimately determine investment success.

In this webinar our experts discussed about the latest developments in the US yield curve and examined Brazil’s elections to assess the implications for fixed income investors.

Many investors missed the post-Liberation Day rebound by staying anchored in a framework that may no longer describe the emerging-market universe. The same misreading risks compounding potential portfolio under-exposure today.

Markets have bounced back to pre-conflict highs. The Conviction Equities and Multi Asset boutiques share their views on why this signal may be worth paying attention to.
