Speaking on the sidelines of the Fixed Income Leaders Summit in Barcelona, hosted by Worldwide Business Research (WBR), he also discusses the relentless cost pressures on the buy side, the push to create better efficiencies across different asset classes, and the need to bake agility into product designs.    “What the buy-side or anyone needs to be thinking about is: ‘I need to solve a problem for today but I don’t want to create a problem for tomorrow’. So be thoughtful in the design decisions that you are taking.” he says.    Catch all our shows here: https://tradertv.net/   #primarymarkets #fixedincome #costs #multiasset

Limited research coverage, liquidity constraints and higher insider ownership are among some factors that make investing in Asian small-caps more challenging and requiring a more active, research-intensive approach compared to investing in well-known, widely-covered large-cap stocks. However, these challenges also create opportunities to potentially generate alpha through careful stock selection and analysis. Listen to Gabriel Sacks, Investment Manager of abrdn Asia Focus plc, share his insights on investing in Asian smaller companies at a free webinar on 18th July.

Earlier today, Insight Partners Managing Director Liad Agmon spoke at Fusion VC's and Pearl Cohen’s 6th annual Trends & Forecasts conference to discuss current investment trends in the local Israeli tech and VC landscape. On a panel with leading investors from Claltech, Blackstone Israel, Vintage Investment Partners and NFX, Liad stressed the durability of Israeli high-tech: “One thing that is very Israeli is its resilience… We’ve emphasized to our portfolio companies that the most important thing they can do is ensure a working product and good service for customers, that’s all.” This sentiment is echoed on a global level in Insight’s 2024 investor predictions, including by Managing Director Praveen Akkiraju: “The only thing that matters at this point is whether your product is delivering value for customers, and it is indispensable. Your customer metrics are fundamental to a lot of key things like your growth, churn, and competitiveness. Keep it very simple. Obsessively focus on your customers — what problems are they trying to solve, how are they evaluating your product, how are they using your product and go build it.” Learn more about what’s in store for 2024 here: https://lnkd.in/e8Esp2zF
