GEM 2025 Outlook: Shifting Winds
The central tension in GEM’s 2025 Outlook is a fairly typical one: The current economic backdrop of solid growth and coordinated global monetary easing is supportive of risk assets, but those favorable conditions are well known and largely reflected in current market pricing. With that in mind, how should investors prepare for new unknowns: the impact of President-elect Trump’s policy mix on markets, the ability of global central banks to preserve a soft landing, the runway for continued outperformance in the US stock market, and more?
Read the Outlook for our team’s assessment of these questions and learn how we are strategically positioning client portfolios to navigate the volatility.
Head of Venture Capital, Kate Simpson, joined David Weisburd on the How I Invest podcast to share how GEM evaluates venture managers and builds conviction through disciplined sourcing, rigorous reference work, and thoughtful fund-level underwriting in an increasingly bifurcated market.
In our 2026 Outlook, the GEM team explores the key forces driving today’s evolving market cycle, from AI-led capital spending to shifting dynamics in private markets, biotech, and real estate, and what they mean for positioning in the year ahead.
In this edition of The Long View, Co-CIO Matt Bank explains why managing risk with structure, discipline, and flexibility is essential for long-term investors, and how GEM’s approach helps portfolios endure uncertainty.
Let’s start a conversation about how we can help.
