Investing in a new world of friction, fragmentation & female entrepreneurship: The FT’s PWM Tea Break

Di Rifai, founder of Creating Future Us, an adviser to investors on the ethics of digital transformation, speaks to the PWM crew over green tea, with an exotic twist, in a wide-ranging discussion taking in AI, robotics, the fast-changing geopolitical backdrop and the rising cohort of female investors.

Banks and wealth managers must prepare for this colossal opportunity, Ms Rifai tells PWM’s Yuri Bender and Ali Al-Enazi, with $40tn soon to be handed over to the stewardship of this powerful new demographic. Among the sectors which female entrepreneurs are interested in is healthcare. This forms part of a much broader reconfiguration of investment priorities, determined by the new world order, including the strategic redrawing of supply chains.
