Kevin Bong, our Managing Director, Head of Portfolio Design & Construction, recently spoke at the milestone 20th Khazanah Megatrends Forum in Kuala Lumpur. In a panel discussion on the shifting global landscape, Kevin explored the idea that a global slowdown may mark the end of cooperative resilience, but also the beginning of national reinvention. He reflected on the long-standing role of U.S. exceptionalism in anchoring growth — rooted in innovation, openness to global talent, and the dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency — and how those foundations are beginning to shift. “Exceptionalism, in many ways, is a privilege, not an entitlement… Whether that exceptionalism can continue really remains to be seen,” he noted. Kevin was joined by Allen Ng (AMRO) and Shan Guo (Hutong Research), with Ridzuan Mohamed (Khazanah Nasional) moderating.

Priti Singh, our Chief Risk Officer, and Danielle Page, an Associate in Total Fund Management, recently took part in the Catalyst Honours in Toronto. The panel was inspired by a recent report from CPP Investments Insights Institute: Investing in Talent, Unlocking Value: The Potential of Gen Z Women. Moderated by Zabeen Hirji, the session explored how Gen Z women are reshaping workplace expectations — and why inclusive, purpose-driven environments are key to attracting and retaining the next generation of leaders. Drawing from the report findings, the panel highlighted why investing in talent is central to long-term value creation. At CPP Investments, we see talent strategy as a critical lever — one that depends on understanding how people at different career stages define opportunity, inclusion, and growth. Priti spoke to the opportunity of multigenerational teams. “Reciprocal mentoring isn’t just a buzzword — it’s one of the most effective ways I’ve seen to challenge assumptions, build trust, and bring new perspectives to the table,” she said. Danielle added: “Many of us want long-term careers, but only in places that invest in us. Gen Z women aren’t looking for shortcuts; we’re looking for trust, growth, and a sense of belonging.” Read more from the Institute Institute's 2025 report on investing in a new generation of talent. https://lnkd.in/gUgmynMD
