Regulatory
Shortening the settlement cycle is a recurring process – veteran bankers will remember the arrival of D+5 in France in the 1990s, replaced by D+3 and then T+2 in 2014. Such a shift is natural, and it follows the industry’s progress in automation, rationalization, and harmonization. So how is this new iteration such a big challenge?

Market Perspectives
Over the past two decades, the Middle East has emerged as a key regional hub for international fund management. This transformation has been driven by sovereign wealth funds, high net worth individuals, family offices, and a burgeoning middle class with an increasing appetite for investment.

Market Perspectives
Investors with a climate focus must take a holistic view of the biggest environmental challenge of our time, because adapting to climate change is just one ingredient of business sustainability and return potential. Both also hinge on a company’s strategy and execution, the macroeconomic environment, and shifting cyclical and secular trends.

Market Perspectives
Over recent years, policy makers and financial markets have been preoccupied with inflation. However, I suspect the emphasis will now switch to growth, or rather the lack of it in the United States (US). Just as the US Federal Reserve (Fed) committed a policy error in 2021 (by waiting too long to tighten), I fear it has committed the opposite error in 2024 by...
