2026 market themes have been shaped by geopolitical realignment, the physical demands of artificial intelligence and changing assumptions about diversification. Across markets, investors are confronting several plausible futures rather than relying on a single base case.

Host Oscar Pulido is joined by Stevie Manns, producer of The Bid, to revisit conversations with BlackRock leaders and external guests. Together, they connect insights on geopolitics, retirement, AI infrastructure, market concentration, portfolio construction, Asia, digital assets and tokenization.

The discussion explores how these subjects form a broader story about preparation. Listeners will hear why AI investing increasingly involves energy and physical infrastructure, how concentration is changing the character of major equity indexes, and why a more dynamic and granular approach may be relevant as capital markets evolve.

Key insights:
• How geopolitical shifts are influencing markets, supply chains and economic policy
• Why AI investing depends on power, data centers and infrastructure
• How stock market concentration can affect diversification assumptions
• Why portfolio construction may require multiple scenarios
• Where Asia and digital assets are broadening the opportunity set
• How tokenization could reduce friction in financial markets
