Partnerships & Operational Evolution
In this episode, David Parish of DLA Piper looks at how the right cross-firm partnerships cut friction and add value, especially as private markets face structural shifts: compressed distributions, a slowing capital return cycle, and secondaries becoming a permanent fixture rather than an exception. He explains why operational efficiency turns into a critical lever when top-line growth is under pressure, and how rapidly compressed technology life cycles are widening the gap between sponsor and institutional capital markets.
Episode 3:
Rewiring the Investment Organization
In this episode, Dr Ashby Monk of Stanford University breaks down how AI is set to transform investment organisations, reshaping decision-making, governance, culture, and organisational identity along the way. He introduces the “AI on-ramp,” a phased approach that starts with foundational work like data cleansing and policy-setting before moving toward AI-driven investment processes. He also digs into what this means for organisational structures going forward, and how the industry balances human expertise and experience against new technology talent.

Accessing European Capital: The Lux Advantage
In this episode Anna Krayn is joined by Elvinger’s Nicolas Fermaud and Jean-Thomas Pradillon to explore how U.S. asset managers can overcome a challenging domestic fundraising environment by tapping into Europe’s multi-trillion-euro pool of private capital.
The discussion highlights Luxembourg as the premier global gateway for cross-border distribution, driven by its flexible fund toolbox and sophisticated regulatory environment. The episode contrasts the risks of relying on fragmented regional rules or passive relationships with the massive competitive advantage of using a third-party AIFM and the AIFMD marketing passport.
