The views expressed are those of the speakers at the time of filming. Other teams may hold different views and make different investment decisions. The value of your investment may become worth more or less than at the time of original investment. While any third-party data used is considered reliable, its accuracy is not guaranteed. For professional, institutional, or accredited investors only.

Head of Private Investments Capital Formation Laura Kirk gathers the leaders of our venture capital teams to discuss their outlooks for 2025. In this roundtable, we explore the short- and longer-term implications of Trump 2.0, share our views on the IPO and M&A environments, and dive into the potential impact of tariffs, labor scarcity, and a higher-for-longer interest-rate environment.
