The Morningstar Investment Conference UK 2025 in London focused on the convergence of public and private markets. CEO Kunal Kapoor emphasized the need for a unified language across both markets and the importance of AI in personalizing products. The growth of private capital will have a significant impact on investing, according to industry experts.
A panel at the conference discussed how the convergence of public and private markets could be the biggest change for the investment industry in a generation. Managers will need to adapt to increased transparency as private markets become more prevalent in portfolios. The movement will reveal who can be trusted with clients’ money.
Morningstar’s Kapoor noted that UK stocks are still undervalued, providing an opportunity for investors. Adrien Gosden highlighted the UK’s trade surplus with the US and its clear direction, making UK equity income a good investment tool. Long-term investing principles, championing investors, fundamental research, and paying the right price for securities are key strategies for uncertain markets.
Keynote speaker Alastair Campbell discussed global democracy, the Brexit situation, and the importance of soft power. With China as the largest economy, new superpowers like India and Europe could emerge. Campbell emphasized the need for strong government leadership and ended his session with gratitude for Canada and Australia.
