About the Forum
Held in London last week, Aberdeen’s annual Investment Forum saw Aberdeen Investments CEO Xavier Meyer host an impressive line-up of speakers and in-house experts who shared their knowledge and experience with clients from across the world.
Host Louise Beale, Reporter and Presenter for 5 News and Sky News Australia, was joined by, among others, Rt Hon Rory Stewart OBE, former UK Cabinet Minister, and co-host of smash-hit podcast ‘The Rest is Politics’ who examined the rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape.
Aberdeen Investments' Chief Economist, Paul Diggle, and Chief Investment Officer, Peter Branner, analysed the macro and micro drivers of markets, and how these are set to shape the Aberdeen Investments' House View over the next 18 months.
The forum also heard from a panel of Aberdeen experts across different asset classes discussing emerging trends and exploring where Aberdeen Investment strategies are identifying promising opportunities in 2025.
"Today is a special opportunity to bring together clients, peers, and thought leaders, from across the industry to share insight, debate and constructively challenge each other."
