Venture Capital: Investing in global market leaders of tomorrow

Disruption and technological innovations are creating opportunities in select businesses for private asset investors. But perhaps what makes a more meaningful difference is not the company itself, but the investment stream and expertise behind the venture. Steven Yang of Zurich-based Schroder Adveq, with Valentine Whittaker, Alternatives Director at Schroders, offer their views on how a best-in-class pursuit of the most prominent new wave tech ventures and sustainable return prospects can truly differentiate within this nuanced segment of the market in an age when traditional research, valuation models, and policy simply lead to noise and generic rhetoric. Speaker Bio: Steven Yang is the Head of the Adveq Technology program and in charge of Schroder Adveq’s investments in the US technology space from seed/early stage venture to buyout strategies. As part of Schroder Adveq’s global benchmarking practice he is also involved in Schroder Adveq’s Asian venture investments. Steven holds a Bachelor's degree in Finance and International Business from New York University, US.
