Bloomberg Investment Management Summit Singapore 2026

Notes

1. Common Alder, ‘Bloomberg hosted “The Bloomberg Investment Management Summit Singapore 2026” at the The Singapore EDITION in the Orchard district of Singapore. Journalists from Bloomberg covered global macro developments whilst policy analysts examined the interplay between geopolitics and investment management. Fund managers, private bankers and asset allocators provided perspectives on the state of the financial markets, AI and the private markets. This event was held fresh off of the recent regulatory overtures by the local regulator Monetary Authority of Singapore announcing several initiatives designed to further attract the hedge fund management industry to Singapore.’ (LinkedIn, 1 September 2026). https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7500535820261445632 · Archive 1 · Archive 2. ↑

3. Felicia Foo, ‘As global market fragmentation, shifting rate cycles, and macro uncertainty rewrite the playbook for capital allocation, gathering Asia’s leading financial minds in the region’s definitive liquidity epicenter couldn’t have been more timely at Bloomberg’s Investment Management Summit. From recalibrating risk frameworks to driving alpha in an unpredictable landscape, here are the core themes that defined our discussions: Research Management & the AI Edge: Moving past experimentation and into full execution—synthesizing vast datasets into high-conviction signals while leveraging core data advantages through sector rotations. Total Portfolio Architecture: Eliminating unstructured data friction, capital call delays, and valuation lags to create a single, high-fidelity view across public and private holdings. FX Volatility & Macro Resilience: Modernizing multi-asset currency frameworks to hedge performance against foreign exchange drag, trade disruptions, and geopolitical fragmentation. Market Structure & Operational Precision: Overcoming infrastructure friction and governance constraints to bridge the gap between target expectations and real-world fund performance. A huge thank you to our speakers, industry partners, and clients for an incredible summit!’ (LinkedIn, 2 September 2026). https://www.linkedin.com/posts/feliciafhy_thats-a-wrap-on-the-bloomberg-investment-ugcPost-7500942206636072960-xgYl/ · Archive 1 · Archive 2. ↑
4. Daniel Chua, ‘A big thank you to the Bloomberg team for putting together another excellent Bloomberg Investment Management Summit in Singapore, held once again at the highly conducive The Singapore EDITION. Content-wise, it was a highly insightful hearing the latest on the following topics: Research Management & the AI Edge: Transitioning from experimentation to execution — synthesizing vast datasets into high-conviction signals, leveraging core data advantages, and navigating complex sector rotations. Total Portfolio Architecture: Integrating public and private holdings into a single, high-fidelity operational view by solving unstructured data friction, capital call delays, and lagged valuations. FX Volatility & Hedging Strategies: Modernizing multi-asset currency risk frameworks to protect cross-border performance against rate shocks and foreign exchange drag. Macro Realities & Supply Chain Shocks: Safeguarding institutional portfolios against ongoing trade disruptions, commodity price volatility, and geopolitical fragmentation. Market Structure Evolution: Decoding shifting liquidity dynamics, regional competition, and the evolving balance of market participation across Asia-Pacific. Operational Execution & Governance: Overcoming infrastructure friction, governance constraints, and execution drag to close the gap between target expectations and actual fund performance. Beyond the content, the event allowed for excellent networking. It was great to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new people and hear thoughtful perspectives from across the investment community. What I always appreciate about this summit is the mix of useful insights from speakers and genuinely good conversations with industry peers. Well done to everyone at Bloomberg who made it happen, with especial thanks to Viana Ge for the invitation to this excellent event.’ (LinkedIn, 2 September 2026). https://www.linkedin.com/posts/danielchuach_networking-bloomberg-investmentmanagement-activity-7500811693850058752-zy8x/ · Archive 1 · Archive 2. ↑
5. Jason Low, ‘What happens when AI and the human analyst disagrees? #BloombergIntelligence asked our audience of about 100 institutional investors and portfolio managers. We concurred that human analysts remain central. My colleagues Catherine Lim, Teh Jun Yang and Citic-CLSA’s Research AI Lead Sandy Chen Dowling polled the above question amongst others in our panel discussion: Research Management in the age of AI. About 40% of the audience said AI should never make the final investment decision (#FID). Although 71% said disagreement between AI and an analyst triggers a second look. As such, #AI acts as a powerful verification tool. Notably, data quality and cost are top concerns holding back fuller AI adoption. #Bloomberg #MarketInsights #Singapore’ (LinkedIn, 5 September 2026). https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jasonlowbbg2025_bloombergintelligence-fid-ai-share-7501976149334380545-TBit/ · Archive 1 · Archive 2. ↑
6. Hide Oh, ‘This week, I attended three events: Bloomberg Investment Management Summit Singapore, MSCI Singapore Investment & Risk Summit, and Aon Investment Insights Series Asia Pacific. I wore three very different hats at each: Operations, Risk Management, and Business Development. The presentations were sharp and insightful, and AI was the dominant theme featured in every conversation. In addition to the organisers, I had the opportunity to speak with people across the financial ecosystem: hedge funds, family offices, endowments, asset managers, wealth managers, and investment consultants. The discussion is moving beyond the technology itself and increasingly toward what it means for investment research, risk management, operations, and business development. Ultimately how organisations remain relevant. One question I came away with: what is an “AI philosophy”? Philosophy is what dictates how an organization behaves when no one is watching, and not just a slogan. The framing that struck me was that AI adoption should be Darwinian and responsible, combining long-term institutional tradition with innovation. I’m still trying to digest that. On a daily basis, it is easy to get consumed by the tasks in front of you. But even in the age of AI, I do feel that gathering in the same room remains the best way to stay open your mind, keep humble and keep the bigger picture in view.’ (LinkedIn, 4 September 2026). https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hidetatsuoh_assetmanagement-bloomberg-msci-share-7501572026541928448-WGoc/ · Archive 1 · Archive 2. ↑
7. Florence Ho, ‘Navigating the macro shift in Southeast Asia. Unprecedented global macroeconomic shifts are prompting institutional investors to fundamentally rethink portfolio strategies. As the region’s premier capital markets hub, Singapore sits at the center of this transformation. Join us at Bloomberg’s Investment Management Summit on September 1st in Singapore, bringing together sovereign wealth funds, leading institutional investors, asset managers, hedge funds, and policymakers to discuss the new playbook for capital allocation in Southeast Asia.’ (LinkedIn, 13 August 2026). https://www.linkedin.com/posts/florence-ho-bb377322_bloomberg-investment-management-summit-activity-7493535586553724928-hfh9/ · Archive 1 · Archive 2. ↑
8. Shantanu Shete, ‘SuPra Fund Management attended the Bloomberg Investment Management Summit in Singapore on 1 September 2026. The agenda covered global economics and inflation, portfolio construction, private credit in Asia, and the application of AI in investment research, with perspectives from Bloomberg Economics, Bloomberg Markets Live, and a range of regional asset managers and credit specialists. Our key takeaways were as follows: Inflation is settling at a higher baseline, though the nearer-term risk lies in energy rather than supply chains. The panels were not forecasting runaway inflation. Instead, the expectation was for a structural level shift from around 1.5% historically to closer to 2.5%, with reshoring and the reconfiguration of global supply chains among the contributing factors. In the near term, however, inflation risks remain more closely tied to commodities. While crude remains well supplied, refined products are tighter. Diesel was singled out in particular, with elevated crack spreads creating the potential for downstream production-cost pressures, especially across Asia. Long-dated yields are being driven increasingly by government borrowing rather than central bank policy. The US, UK, France and Japan each allowed deficits to widen through the good years, and the panel noted that so far none has yet set out a consolidation plan that investors find convincing. Term premium is being charged accordingly. Panelists also remarked that a 5% yield on the US 10-year was cited as the level at which conditions start to feel uncomfortable. Dollar strength and dollar overvaluation are not mutually exclusive. In the near term, the dollar continues to find support from a hawkish Fed, relatively resilient US growth and the absence of a compelling alternative. Over a longer horizon, however, the view was that the dollar remains structurally overvalued, with any adjustment likely to occur gradually rather than abruptly. Asia is absorbing the gap between those two timeframes. The rupee, peso and rupiah have each set record lows this year, and governments across the region are deploying fiscal support to cushion the effect. Taken together, the discussions reinforced the importance of constructing portfolios for an environment of structurally higher rates, greater fiscal uncertainty and increasingly differentiated sources of return – where diversification across strategies and return drivers becomes increasingly important.’ (LinkedIn, 7 September 2026). https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7502587345808859136/ · Archive 1 · Archive 2. ↑
9. Leila Sadiq, ‘There is a noticeable shift in the tone of client conversations across Asia. Growth and expansion are back at the center of the agenda. After a week in Singapore, meeting clients and taking part in Bloomberg’s Investment Management Summit, one theme came through consistently: diversification is creating opportunity, but also more complexity. That was clear in the Private Markets panel I moderated with KKR’s SJ Lim, Ares Management’s Dinesh Goel and Hillhouse Investment’s Siddhartha Hari. The market is expanding, but the conversation is becoming more disciplined around returns, risk and where the opportunity is genuinely differentiated. The same theme came through in Bloomberg’s Total Portfolio View Panel Discussion with Nick Dekker and Oliver Wedlake. As portfolios span more public and private assets, firms need a more connected view of holdings, exposures and data. At the same time, expectations around valuation rigor and benchmarking are rising. AI was a recurring topic, but increasingly the discussion was about getting the data and infrastructure right. The momentum across Asia feels increasingly tangible. Firms are investing now to support the next phase of growth. A big thank you to our clients, participants and colleagues across Asia for the thoughtful conversations and energy throughout the week.
