  • Great that they have broadened out the PMs

    With CEO Mike Gitlin hosting, we are hearing from a broader range of Capital PMs. I think it would be great if they continued to do that and let us hear from everyone over time. The deeper dives from analysts are also useful. It would be great to hear from all the equity analysts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Market leadership: U.S. vs international stocks
Q: Diana, what makes you still bullish on the US, and where do you see the balance with non-US themes?
Diana maintains a bullish stance on the US due to resilient growth, AI tailwinds, and favorable energy and consumer dynamics, but emphasizes diversification, regional nuances, and the ongoing need to navigate market concentration and potential volatility in AI-related profitability.
Market leadership: U.S. vs international stocks
Q: Lisa, where do you see opportunities and risks outside the US in the near term?
Lisa argues that EM and international markets can continue to outperform in the coming decade, driven by growth, capital reallocation, governance improvements, and sector opportunities in commodities, industrials, and consumer areas, while noting cyclical caveats and potential pullbacks.
Investing through the AI transition
Q: How do you compare the current AI transition to the dot-com era, and what should investors focus on now?
Brady suggests focusing on fundamentals and the right side of change, recognizing that infrastructure bottlenecks are different this time and that winners will emerge as AI usage scales, with some firms advancing quickly and others lagging. A disciplined framework that adapts to each company's specifics is key.
The next wave of defense spending
Q: How is Europe's defense spending trajectory shaping investment opportunities?
Europe is experiencing higher defense intensity in border countries, with a fragmented supplier base but a growing pipeline of private and some public market financing for defense-oriented companies, including IPO activity among ammo and tech suppliers and investments in domestic production capacity to reduce dependency on US suppliers.
The next wave of defense spending
Q: What are the main investment implications from the current defense sector outlook?
Despite appearing as an old industry, defense is undergoing rapid transformation driven by space-, AI-, and autonomous-enabled capabilities, with longer procurement cycles, greater emphasis on supply chain resilience, and a shift toward public-private collaboration that creates diversified opportunities across both incumbents and new entrants.
