Paul Chan, Financial Secretary, Government of the Hong Kong SAR | Global Investors’ Symposium 2024
The Milken Institute's inaugural Global Investors Symposium in Hong Kong, featuring Chief Executive Paul Chan as keynote speaker, unites over 550 global executives to advance the city's strategic goal of bridging international and Chinese capital markets. Against a backdrop of 3.2% GDP growth and new policy measures to liberalize property markets and support asset management, the forum highlights initiatives such as the "Capital Investment Entrant Scheme" and the world's first comprehensive licensing regime for virtual assets to attract US$12 billion in corporate investment and 100,000 qualified arrivals. By leveraging its unique position under "One Country, Two Systems," Hong Kong aims to solidify its status as a primary offshore RMB hub and a testing ground for China's financial market opening.

Credit Markets: New Risks, New Game Plan | Global Conference 2024
Staci Warden, Steve Brown, Jean Hsu, Jeff Meli, Meghan Neenan
Barclays Global Research forecasts a soft landing for the U.S. economy, driven by substantial federal deficits and structural shifts that mitigate the recessionary impact of the Federal Reserve's 11 interest rate hikes. Amidst this environment, corporate issuance remains robust at nearly $1.5 trillion annually as issuers navigate higher borrowing costs by migrating from public to private credit markets for flexibility and capital structure optimization. While sectors like commercial real estate face significant distress due to capital mismatches, the broader credit landscape benefits from private capital's stabilizing long-term nature and a predicted coexistence between public and private lending ecosystems.

Conversation with Naval Ravikant, Founder & Chairman of AngelList | Middle East & Africa Summit 2023
Naval Ravikant, Louise Tabbiner
Naval Ravikant characterizes Silicon Valley as undergoing a vibrant "Cambrian explosion" of early-stage startups, driven by the departure of legacy tech giants and a continued influx of immigrant founders drawn to the region's concentration of intellectual capital. While acknowledging regulatory headwinds in crypto and biomedicine, he dismisses narratives of regional decline or AI existential risks, reframing natural language computing as a pivotal shift comparable to the invention of the graphical user interface. This ecosystem thrives on "genuine tinkerers" prioritizing craft over fame, supported by an investment philosophy that seeks individuals with unique worldviews rather than chasing established thematic trends.

A panel of private equity leaders from Mubadala Capital Solutions, Eldridge, Clear Lake Capital, and Wellington Management analyzes the industry's shift from a zero-interest rate environment to a persistent 5%+ rate landscape that is compressing valuation multiples and accelerating a distressed debt cycle. Responding to macro pressures, these firms are deploying distinct strategies ranging from operational efficiency and AI integration to insurance-led investing and the institutionalization of sports assets as uncorrelated, resilient value traps. The collective outlook anticipates a decade-long unwinding of excess leverage, favoring high-quality 2024–2025 entries while capital sources diversify globally from traditional Western pension funds to emerging markets in the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America.

Representing a collective force managing over $15 billion, panelists from the McKnight Foundation, Pivotal Ventures, and Ellevest argue that the actual financial opportunity in women-led ventures reaches $2.5 trillion, driven by the intergenerational transfer of $80 trillion. The discussion highlights empirical data showing that women founders require less capital to achieve profitability and that emerging managers consistently outperform later-stage vintage years, challenging the stigma surrounding women in investment. To bridge structural biases and the "feminization of wealth," the panel proposed actionable frameworks like the McKnight Foundation's four levers of power and urged investors to shift capital toward female-led funds to realize superior risk-adjusted returns.

Samson Wong, Kevin Lu, Matthew Michelini, Ganen Sarvananthan, Donald Tang
Leading alternative asset managers including Apollo, TPG, and Partners Group are pivoting strategies as the post-2008 macroeconomic tailwinds unwind, driving capital from traditional public banks into private credit and private equity markets. Firms are aggressively targeting investment-grade private credit to replace shrinking bank lending while leveraging Asia-specific opportunities in infrastructure and RMB-onshore funds to capitalize on valuation dislocations and structural growth. Simultaneously, the industry is integrating operational transformations through generative AI and sustainability initiatives to navigate power constraints and capture dual financial and impact returns in emerging markets.
