ReadingThe next three years of Indian capital formation will not look like the previous three. Younger families are building differently.
WatchBy Q2 2027, alternative asset allocations in Indian family offices will exceed 30% of new capital committed. Public market participation will not recover at the same rate.

Funds-Europe ↗

ReadingThe spread gap is an inefficiency. It will not persist beyond Q4.
WatchIf hyperscaler corporate bonds tighten before data center yields widen, the thesis inverts. Watch October issuance calendars.
