Events at Cambridge Associates

The private credit landscape has grown steadily over the past 15 years, cementing its importance and value in institutional and family investors’ portfolios. Cambridge Associates and industry thought leaders hosted an interactive conversation on private credit. We discussed how investors can effectively navigate the private credit landscape and provide insights on why private credit presents an interesting opportunity amid current macroeconomic environment. Please note that this event was for Cambridge Associates’ clients and prospective clients only. Please reach out to events@cambridgeassociates.com for more information.

We held a live webinar on Thursday, December 7, from 9-10am ET where Cambridge Associates’ thought leaders shared our 2024 investment outlook. We discussed key questions confronting investors in the coming year, including:

• How will global economic growth and inflation evolve next year?
• What does that mean for interest rates and as a result, equity and credit investments, both public and private?
• Where is the market wrongly pricing risks?

Cambridge Associates’ Francesca Signorelli and Francesco Agnes, along with venture capitalists from Lux Capital, FJ Labs, and Balderton Capital, discussed the current opportunities presented by artificial intelligence and machine learning technology. They delved into how these technologies are being applied to transform core industries, providing exciting opportunities for early-stage investors. Panelists included Grace Isford, Partner at Lux Capital; Jose Marin, Co-Founder at FJ Labs; and James Wise, Partner at Balderton Capital. After the remarks, attendees networked with other institutional and family office investors. Please note this event is for Cambridge Associates’ clients and prospective clients only.

Designing a brighter and more equitable future through sustainable and impact investing requires both qualitative and quantitative tools at our disposal today, and those yet to come. Our 9th annual Impact Investing Forum took place in Toronto, Canada, and aimed to help investors prudently navigate risk, find actionable opportunities, and authentically contribute to real-world solutions to the most pressing challenges faced by communities worldwide. This year, we explored the art and science of sustainable and impact investing. Practitioners, forward-thinking allocators, non-profit, and family investors partook in engaging discussions and interactive breakout sessions on the latest innovations, case studies, and best practices around sustainable and impact investing, including:

• Art: As we harness creative inspiration to develop and implement theories of change, we continue to push the limits of our imagination to sketch inclusive blueprints for economic, social, and environmental equity and health.
• Science: At the same time, we develop and analyze data, metrics, and research to test impact theses and measure progress toward truly sustainable real-world outcomes over time.

We had an informal roundtable discussion on ‘The good, the bad and the investible: In today’s market, what asset classes are families considering?’ with investors and family offices. This event was for current and prospective private clients of Cambridge Associates only. Please contact events@cambridgeassociates.com for more information.
