Webinar: investment in AI and self-driving vehicles

Access our on-demand webinar, co-hosted with Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust.


Watch our on-demand webinar with Samir Shah, Senior Research Analyst at JM Finn and Tom Slater, Manager at Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust as they discuss what Scottish Mortgage hold in their portfolio, and the rationale for inclusion. They cover the impact of recent geopolitical events, investment in technologies such as AI, semiconductors and self-driving vehicles, as well as the outlook for Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust's private equity holdings.

The webinar covers:

  • How AI has become a ‘once in a generation’ investment – constituting a new growth epoch and redefining norms of how large companies can become;
  • Insights from those at the coal face of tech giants such as Spotify into their 10-year growth plans;
  • The importance of continually assessing the competitive landscape for the future winners, rather than passively tracking the biggest players in the market;
  • Why the outperformance of hardware companies such as TSMC mirrors the strong performance of those that enabled the transition to widespread internet use during the nineties, such as Cisco;
  • The development of companies such as Google and Amazon from applications to dominant industry players;
  • How steady progress in autonomous vehicles behind the scenes has now resulted in what appears to be a ‘sudden’ equivalence to human drivers.
