European private credit is entering a more selective phase. As the market expands to areas like asset-based finance, mid-market CLOs and credit secondaries, investors are looking more closely at where complexity can create differentiated value. In this phase, relative value depends on more than yield. Documentation, collateral quality, structure and downside protection matter. Carolyn Hastings reviewed these themes at @News_PDI’s 2026 Europe Summit, highlighting how disciplined underwriting and active portfolio engagement will be key as the European market continues to mature.

What if aging isn't inevitable, but programmable? In our latest episode of The Future of Healthcare AI, we speak with Jacob Kimmel, co-founder and president of @newlimit. His company uses AI-powered epigenetic reprogramming to identify specific gene combinations that can reset ageing cells back toward a more youthful, functional state. We also cover the science of cellular aging, the economics of health span, and what it could mean if the average person gained a decade or two of additional healthy life in this conversation.

David Gross recently sat down with Liz Hoffman at the @semafor World Economy Summit to discuss how shifts in the global economy and geopolitics are expanding the opportunity set across markets. Gross described this as a growth and dislocation equation. Businesses are benefiting from sustained growth and long-term tailwinds in some areas. In others, dislocation is creating opportunities to invest behind change. The ability to move across both is increasingly important, especially in situations where complexity creates room for differentiated outcomes. Watch their conversation here: bit.ly/4u76TkZ

Unlocking value in real estate starts with seeing potential others miss. Severo 246 in Rome is a great example—transforming a legacy office in EUR into a modern, fully leased workspace through targeted refurbishment and disciplined leasing.

We stay focused where demand is strong but capital/execution are constrained—creating high-quality assets built for long-term ownership. Learn more: bit.ly/4dbiXud #RealEstate
