The firm attributes this resilience to America's energy insulation and revised 2026 earnings growth forecasts, while advising a strategic overweight in U.S. assets alongside a selective tilt toward the software sector.

Hiroki Hirai, co-founder and CEO of the UK's leading direct debit provider GoCardless, outlines his entrepreneurial journey from early university experiences to navigating extreme fundraising rejections and near-suicidal lows. He emphasizes that founders must prioritize momentum over perfection and avoid theoretical "whiteboard ideas" in favor of solving problems they personally encounter. Ultimately, Hirai argues that the defining trait of a successful startup is the "emotional cockroach" resilience required to survive the volatile oscillations between failure and rapid recovery.
