    From Alternative to Mainstream

    CHAPTER 1 From Alternative to Mainstream Alternatives Ascending Foreword The specter of market volatility brought on by large-scale events, such as global pandemic- related lockdowns in early 2020, has had a strong influence on investor approaches to their portfolios. Investors are responding by building resilience into their portfolios to navigate a future with the potential for enormous surprises. Alternative asset managers face a complex mix of opportunities and challenges presented by strong investor appetite for diversification, as well as broader industry pressures. BNY Mellon, in conjunction with Mergermarket, surveyed 100 institutional investors and 100 alternative asset managers on their perceptions of current trends in the space and on whether the two sides are moving in the same direction. The findings show changing investor and asset manager attitudes and behavior, in some cases contrasting with our 2017 research report, The Race for Assets.1 In addition to shifting investor needs, highlighted in Chapter 1 of this study, alternative asset managers face structural changes within their organizations. A majority of alternative asset manager respondents cite forces of increased competition and changing economics as top factors driving structural change. They see increased product innovation as another significant structural game-changer. Like their peers in the broader asset management industry,2 alternative asset managers are deploying digital and data analysis technologies to increase efficiency, overcome regulatory hurdles, promote product innovation and improve reporting. 1 https://www.bnymellon.com/us/en/insights/content-series/the-race-for-assets.html 2 https://www.bnymellon.com/us/en/insights/asset-management-transformation-is-already-here/survey-research-series-overview.html 2 The need for robust data management and analytics is also bringing new complexities to the fore.

Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Brian Duffy The Need for Vision: Tall Buildings in Dublin Brian Duffy Associate, Traynor O’Toole Architects – 49 Upper Mount Street, Dublin 2, Ireland Abstract The Celtic Tiger economy in Ireland has dramatically changed the substance of life in Ireland within a very short space of time. Whilst the infrastructure has struggled to keep up, the urban realm has begun the process of rapidly transforming Dublin from a low rise city of urban sprawl, to a densely woven contemporary modern environment. The appetite to build tall is tempered by an apprehensive planning policy, that reflects the cautious mood of the general public. Such apprehension restricts the possibility of creating an of-its-time City that meets it demands sustainably, whilst fulfilling its high aspirations. The paper examines planning policies and how Dublin architects have pursued tall buildings, most typically in the city centre. This is then contrasted with an alternative approach on the edge of the city, where one major landowner and [email protected] design team have proposed an entire masterplanning vision, premised on the inclusion of tall buildings. This untypical approach yields notable success and, in doing so, highlights the need for a more proactive and interactive approach to Biography Briantall building Duffy qualifiedstrategic planningfrom Queens on behalf University of architects, Belfast, developers Northern Ireland, and planners before alike.

    AWS Re:Invent 2019

    Research Note: AWS re:Invent 2019 Rajeev Chand Partner and Head, Research Amazon’s 8th annual re:Invent was held December 2-6, 2019, in Las Vegas. The [email protected] conference is one of the largest enterprise tech gatherings globally, second only to Salesforce’s Dreamforce. This year’s re:Invent had 65,000 attendees, which is more Olivia Rodberg than double the 30,000 attendees in 2016. Research Associate [email protected] re:Invent, as a vendor-specific conference, focused on sessions with Amazon executives, technologists, and partners introducing, discussing, and evangelizing AWS products and services. However, in hallway conversations and private meetings, attendees discussed and debated industry trends and challenges in cloud businesses Wing Venture Capital and technologies. 480 Lytton Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94301 At this year’s conference, Wing’s research team hosted the Wing Summit: re:Invent, an exclusive, invitation-only dialogue with 40 chief information officers and chief technology officers. In addition, during two days at the conference, we held 20 one-on- meetings with Fortune 500 executives, principally vice presidents and heads of infrastructure, engineering, cloud, and data. Our takeaways included: 1) Cost economics, though frequently raised, is not the primary driver. CIOs in our pre-summit feedback most frequently raised cost economics as a topic. One CIO asked, “are cloud financials what people perceive them to be for production workloads?” Another asked, “is there a crossover point where public cloud becomes more costly than private cloud?” Another questioned, “how should we be thinking about balancing growing opex vs. capex?” Executives in our meetings emphasized that cost economics are not the primary driver for cloud adoption.
