The shift to a low-carbon economy will demand more capital than any of us have seen in our lifetimesâfar more than private actors alone can provide. Public marketsâthe securities that make up the bulk of most investor portfolios available on stock exchangesâare set to play a much larger role in this transition. So, while private markets may have a head start, public markets are catching up quickly.
In this special episode, Mark Wiedman, Head of BlackRockâs Global Client Business, will lead a conversation with BlackRock investors Evy Hambro, Olivia Markham, and Will Su about the transition opportunities theyâre seeing in public marketsâand what it will take to fully unlock their potential.

Economists around the world have been attributing the rise in costs of services and inflation in a number of countries to Taylor Swiftâs worldwide Eras tour. However, Swift herself can't be held fully responsible for some of the shifts in consumer spending habits that are influencing the prices of goods and services. There are many other macro and micro forces at play in driving spending behavior and inflation trends around the world. Tom Becker and Kate Moore are senior investors at BlackRock with decades of global macro and thematic investing experience between them. They join Oscar to discuss the changes in consumer spending behavior, the future path of interest rates, and what signs investors should be on the lookout for in the latter half of 2024.
