Perspectives

  • Balancing AI Opportunity and Execution Risk
    Sustainability Leaders 3Q26: Portfolio positioning remains centered on high-quality compounders while selectively adding AI beneficiaries, power infrastructure exposure and software businesses with durable growth or lower disruption risk.
  • Sustainability Is a Gating Factor for AI
    AI and data centers dominated an invigorated Climate Week; their development increasingly depends on managing power, water and community impacts.
  • Diversifying AI Buildout Exposures
    Sustainability Leaders 2Q26: We are maintaining overweight positions in semiconductors, industrials, utilities and materials where we are constructive on “picks and shovels” in the AI infrastructure buildout.
