This week, at Standard Chartered's Global Markets Outlook event in Singapore, B Capital's Founding Partner, Kabir Narang, discussed key investment themes for 2025 in a panel with Serena Tan and Jenny Lee, moderated by CNBC's Sri Jegarajah. According to Kabir, "a balanced barbell approach is paramount: on one side, anchor your portfolio in resilient, profitable enterprises with solid cash flows that can endure market volatility; on the other, selectively deploy capital into AI-driven ventures poised for outsized, asymmetric gains—like industry-specific solutions that can transform entire value chains." Kabir also emphasized that AI marks a monumental structural shift, reshaping markets and unlocking new frontiers for growth. Key Takeaways:  • Investing in Proven Business Models: Kabir highlighted the enduring value of proven businesses with strong fundamentals that can navigate any market environment. • AI: The Great Accelerator: He identified AI as more than a trend—a seismic force reshaping global markets and unlocking unprecedented opportunities for those prepared to act. #AI #Investments
