In an interview with CNBC’s Squawk Box Asia at the Global Financial Leaders’ Investment Summit in Hong Kong, James Brocklebank, Managing Partner and Co-Chair of Advent’s Executive Committee, explains why Advent takes a long-term view of its investments, following the $30 billion raised across its global fund complex this year.
Speaking with Lisa Kim, James explained why Advent focuses on a long-term horizon rather than day-to-day market moves, and why investors value patient, stable capital that has operated through many market and political cycles. He also discussed how Advent is using AI across the firm and its portfolio companies, why a successful exit starts with a clear view of the eventual buyer, and where the firm sees opportunity in Asia. That includes carve-outs and take-privates in Japan, where Advent opened an office earlier this year.
