At Cambridge Associates’ Investment Leaders Exchange roadshow in Dubai, chief investment officers, portfolio managers, and other investment leaders gathered to discuss the critical questions shaping portfolios in 2026, from market volatility and shifting bond yields to private market opportunities, artificial intelligence, and regional investment themes across the Gulf.

In this presentation from the Investment Leaders Exchange, Hamza El-Gomati, Senior Investment Director, shares perspectives on the current market environment and the importance of balancing offense and defense in portfolios. The presentation examines the rotation from companies building artificial intelligence infrastructure to those adopting it, the broader market participation in developed non-U.S. equities, and the role of defensive hedge fund strategies in diversification. It also explores venture capital investments in technologies that strengthen critical systems and foundational industries, alongside differentiated return opportunities in specialty finance, insurance-linked securities, and royalties.
