As we enter the second half of 2026, Henry McVey and Lauren Goodwin, CFA reflect on the forces that have shaped markets so far, and what they signal for the road ahead. As investment themes such as AI, productivity, infrastructure, and national security continue to accelerate, other areas of the economy are facing a more challenging backdrop. In this environment, broad market exposure alone may not be enough. Our Mid-Year Outlook In Brief explores why we believe investors should: 🟢 Prioritize quality and durable cash flows. 🟢 Focus on operational value creation over financial engineering. 🟢 Lean into the structural themes reshaping long-term capital allocation. 🟢 Be increasingly selective as dispersion across markets, sectors, and managers continues to widen.

There are fewer opportunities in European markets, where many of the region’s most innovative companies — in space, defense, industrial tech — remain privately held. On June 26, we celebrated the re-IPO of European space champion OHB on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange alongside the founding Fuchs family. Philipp Freise, Co-Head of European PE, joined Bloomberg Television to discuss OHB’s milestone, how we're continuing to find attractive opportunities in European markets, and why access to private markets is critical for investors seeking exposure to the region’s technology and innovation leaders.
