Schroders Capital Spanning the full investment lifecycle from primary commitments into new venture funds, to direct investments, co-investments and secondary purchases, the strategy provides exposure to portfolio companies diversified across stages, sectors and regions. The portfolio allocates predominantly to established and access restricted investments. A key sector is technology innovation, particularly in developing businesses that are set to capitalise on the transformative potential and value creation of generative artificial intelligence. An example of this is Scale AI, a provider of AI data labelling and model evaluation services helping to accelerate the development of AI applications. Security is also a component of the strategy; an upcoming exit includes Wiz, a prominent player in cloud security, which is set to be acquired by Google for $32 billion, pending regulatory approval. “Disruptive innovation is occurring at pace and on a global scale, bringing compelling opportunities for investors. Against this backdrop, we have seen increasing interest in venture exposure within sectors exhibiting strong innovation potential, with technology, artificial intelligence and biopharma at the forefront,” Steven Yang, head of global innovation at Schroders Capital, said. “Our strong relationships and diversified portfolio make us well-positioned to further capture the emerging growth and value creation opportunities from these global innovation shifts – providing our investors access to leading investments across the world’s innovation hubs,” Yang added.
