Investment Titans: Dispelling the Myth of Emerging Markets
Mark Wiseman, David Bonderman, Binod Chaudhary, Arif Naqvi
A panel of investment leaders and institutional experts redefines emerging markets as "Global Growth Markets," highlighting that these regions now drive 60% of global GDP growth while remaining significantly under-allocated by major pension funds and sovereign wealth funds. Key figures including Arif Naqvi, David Bonderman, and Bino Chaudhry advocate for a shift from public indices to private equity strategies that prioritize local partners, rigorous compliance, and consumer-focused sectors in dynamic economies like India and Southeast Asia. The discussion concludes that successful capital deployment requires agile, long-term approaches capable of navigating political volatility and leveraging technological leapfrogging rather than relying on static acronym-based groupings.

Framework for Investing for the Long Term
Colin le Duc, Brian Gildea, Steven Goulart, Jingdong Hua, Jean Hynes, Arif Naqvi
A diverse panel of institutional investors from firms including MetLife, Generation, and the IFC identified a critical misalignment between long-term asset requirements and current quarterly measurement frameworks that hinders sustainable capital deployment. To address these structural barriers, participants detailed innovative incentive models and de-risking strategies, such as IFC first-loss provisions and Wellington Management's decoupled compensation structures, designed to unlock the $30 trillion opportunity within the Sustainable Development Goals. The group concluded that overcoming regulatory bottlenecks and standardizing impact metrics is essential for mobilizing idle capital into emerging markets and infrastructure projects while shifting asset allocation toward holistic value creation.
