What can a day spent exploring one of China’s leading innovation hubs teach us about the future?

In Hangzhou, arriving via China’s high-speed rail network, our team gained firsthand insight into the trends shaping both technology and consumer spending. At Alibaba Group, we explored the growing role of AI, cloud computing and digital ecosystems in China’s economy.

We also took part in a walking tour of MixC mall, a major urban development that combines retail, hospitality, offices and residential living. The visit provided a unique perspective on China’s consumer economy and how large-scale lifestyle destinations are helping drive spending, engagement and economic growth.

The future is rarely as predictable as the headlines suggest.

A few years ago, many believed AI would rapidly replace millions of jobs. Yet today, employment data tells a more nuanced story. In many industries, AI is helping people work differently, not necessarily replacing them.

In this month’s episode, Linda Eedes explores what the gap between AI predictions and reality can teach us about investing. Our perspective is that successful investing is about building resilient portfolios that can navigate a wide range of possible outcomes.

Innovation doesn’t just belong to one industry.

This is one of the biggest lessons the Foord investment team picked up in Shanghai. Over two days, we met with businesses in healthcare, retail, hospitality, manufacturing, automotive production and artificial intelligence.

At WuXi Biologics', Yum China and MINISO, we saw how innovation and scale are helping businesses serve millions of customers while expanding their domestic and international reach.

We were also welcomed by Mech-Mind Robotics, MiniMax and Atour, where we experienced how AI, automation, advanced manufacturing and customer-focused business models are creating new opportunities for growth.

Every company had a different story to tell, but together they painted a compelling picture of an economy constantly evolving and adapting to new customer needs.

These first-hand insights deepen our understanding of one of the world’s most dynamic markets.

The future isn’t something to predict. In Shenzhen, it’s something you can see.

As the next stop on our Asia journey, we got to see first-hand why this city has earned its reputation as a leading global innovation hub.

From learning about the tech behind Han's Laser Smart Equipment Group Co., Ltd. 群組 , Unitree Robotics, Tencent 腾讯 and Pony.ai to understanding how CHAGEE MY 霸王茶姬 is modernising centuries-old tea making practices, China’s Silicon Valley holds a range of businesses driving the next wave of innovation in more than one way.

Exploring the city also provided valuable insight into the businesses, technologies and ideas shaping the future of Asia and beyond.

What if a story could help shape a child’s financial future?

This International Literacy Day, we’re celebrating a part of literacy that is just as important as reading and writing: financial literacy.

Through Foord’s Teach Your Child To Invest initiative, books like More Than Enough, Little by Little and That’s Just Nuts, help children discover important lessons about saving, patience, investing and thinking long term.

Because understanding money isn’t just about numbers. It’s about building confidence, making informed choices and creating opportunities for the future - and some of life’s most valuable lessons begin with a simple story.

What does long-term thinking look like in practice? Singapore might just be one of the world’s best examples.

As the home of Foord’s Singapore office since 2012, the city provides direct access to one of the world's most dynamic regions and the businesses driving its growth.

This week, delegates spent time with our Singapore investment team, explored the city’s remarkable development story, and gained first-hand insight into why being on the ground matters when investing globally.

From thought-provoking discussions and city tours to shared meals at Lau Pa Sat and a warm welcome from colleagues, Singapore continues to remind us that understanding markets starts with understanding people, places and progress.

Gold rallied, energy gained ground, and AI stepped back. What changed?

In August, rising long-term bond yields across major economies sparked a shift in market leadership. Precious metals, energy, and other real assets came back into focus, while some of the year’s most popular AI-related trades lost momentum.

These changing market dynamics remind us that leadership in markets can shift quickly, making diversification and long-term thinking as important as ever.

Could commodities be making a comeback?

As concerns around government debt, inflation, and rising bond yields returned to the spotlight, investors renewed their interest in real assets and commodity-linked sectors. South African resource shares were among the beneficiaries.

Market leadership can change quickly, reminding us of the importance of looking beyond the dominant investment themes of the moment.

Swipe through for the latest market insights and key takeaways from August.

What do people typically get wrong about China? They view it as a homogenous culture. For Heather McCulloch, the investor advantage of travelling through China is seeing beyond the version often portrayed in headlines and timelines.

This September, Foord’s investment team will once again be on the ground across Asia, meeting the people, seeing places and learning about perspectives that shape one of the world’s largest economies.
