Panelists Andy Betts, Rafi B., Sarah Malik, and Jonathan Goldstein convened to address the transformative impacts of the longevity revolution and a projected $80–$100 trillion intergenerational wealth transfer on global financial markets. The discussion highlighted a critical shift in portfolio construction toward 50-30-20 allocations featuring alternatives, alongside evolving investor demands for impact investing, educational diversity, and well-being metrics that move beyond traditional GDP. Despite concerns regarding widening wealth gaps and 1930s-style geopolitical instability, the group agreed that aligning capital markets with the ethical values and first-principles thinking of younger generations is essential for sustaining future stability and growth.
