A recent Infrastructure Investor article highlights how artificial intelligence is transforming every stage of the value chain: from raising capital, to managing portfolios, to designing exit strategies.    What this means: • For fund managers: AI enables more targeted and scalable LP outreach, smarter deal sourcing, and streamlined due diligence. • For portfolio teams: AI helps predict risk, optimize operations, and enhance long-term value creation. • For exit planning: Predictive modelling supports data-driven decision-making on exit route and timing, helping to maximise returns.   At Metis Search, we believe the future of private markets will favour firms that can integrate AI as part of their core operating model. For both clients and candidates in alternatives, understanding and leveraging AI is no longer optional - it’s a strategic imperative.   If you’re navigating hiring, fundraising, or growth in alternatives and want to talk about how AI could shape the next phase of your business connect to a member of the team to have a confidential conversation. #AI #AlternativeInvestment #Infrastructure #Recruitment #ExecutiveSearch #FinancialServices #LondonJobs #NewYorkJobs

The BBC reported last month on the recent regulatory changes that are set to allow bankers to access bonuses more quickly once they qualify. For financial institutions and recruiting teams, this signals a shift in compensation dynamics that could influence how we attract, retain and motivate top capital-markets talent. For candidates, it underscores the importance of understanding not just role and package but timing and structure of rewards. If you’re a firm looking to recalibrate your reward frameworks or an individual in banking reconsidering your next move, now is a strategic time to review how performance and incentives align with your market competitive edge.

The London IPO market is showing tentative signs of a revival, listings such as Beauty Tech Group and Princes Group are hinting at a more confident market outlook. Momentum in ECM and equity advisory is beginning to build. That’s likely to translate into greater demand for experienced professionals, from origination and structuring to investor relations, as firms prepare for a more active pipeline. For candidates, this could signal the start of new opportunities across investment banks and advisory platforms. For hiring managers, it’s a good time to assess team capability and readiness for increased market activity. At Metis Search, we’re continuing to support clients and candidates across ECM and broader capital markets as the cycle begins to turn once again.

The D. E. Shaw Group is launching its first fully human-run hedge fund – the Cogence Fund. Why is this important? For decades, D.E. Shaw has been the poster child for quantitative trading, where algorithms and data models drive decisions. But now, with $3-5 billion raised for a discretionary fund, they’re signaling that judgement, experience, and adaptability remain critical in markets that are increasingly unpredictable. This isn’t about abandoning technology, it’s about balance. Algorithms excel at processing massive amounts of data at lightning speed. But human investors bring something unique: intuition, creativity, and the ability to adapt when the unexpected happens. At Metis Search, we see a parallel in recruitment. Technology and AI tools are powerful, but human expertise and judgement are what truly connect the right people with the right opportunities. Even at the cutting edge of finance, people remain the differentiator. And the same is true in talent.
