Antipodes discusses global equity themes at NGF International 2026

Antipodes Partners joined senior UK fund selectors and fellow investment managers at NGF International 2026, held at Pan Pacific London, to discuss the forces shaping global equity markets and their implications for portfolio construction.

Jacob Mitchell explored a central question for investors: how diversified is a global equity portfolio if many of its holdings are exposed to the same underlying investment theme? With the AI investment cycle extending beyond technology into other industries, portfolios spanning different sectors and investment styles may share more common risks than investors realise.

Against this backdrop, Jacob outlined Antipodes’ pragmatic approach to value investing: seeking companies whose resilience and growth prospects are mispriced by the market. The presentation highlighted the importance of detailed industry research in distinguishing businesses positioned to benefit from change from those facing lasting disruption.

Examples spanning energy investment, AI adoption and ageing demographics illustrated the breadth of opportunities the team is researching. The discussion also considered how a portfolio drawing on different sources of return can complement passive and core global equity allocations.

Thank you to Infusion Events for bringing together such an engaged group, and to everyone who joined us for a day of thoughtful discussion and valuable conversations.
