Returning members include Dr. Adam Posen, president, Peterson Institute for International Economics; Fabiana Fedeli, chief investment officer, equities, multi-asset & sustainability, M&G Investments; John Emerson, former US Ambassador to Germany and vice chair, Capital Group International, Inc; Dr. Kai Guo, president and senior fellow, CF40 Institute; Robin Hu, chair emeritus, Asia, Milken Institute and advisory senior director, Temasek; Torsten Slok, chief economist and partner, Apollo Global Management; and Yuichi Murao, global head of Japanese equity, Nomura Asset Management.
Supertrends report
One area where the council plays a central role is in shaping Bank of Singapore’s annual Supertrends report, which is updated twice a year to focus on structural trends shaping markets over a five-year horizon.
In the third edition of the report, entitled Supertrends 2026: Cycles, Halos and Moonshots, the bank highlighted five structural shifts: navigating chokepoints; a whole portfolio approach; China’s renaissance; AI – anything, everywhere, all at once; and the longevity economy.
