When Artificial Intelligence is discussed, the conversation often starts with the technology itself: larger models, better tools, faster deployment. This perspective is incomplete. A century ago, electricity did not transform industries simply because factories were connected to the grid. It transformed them because businesses redesigned processes, products and operating models around what electricity made possible. Artificial Intelligence is following the same path. The technology is becoming increasingly accessible, but value will come from companies that know how to apply it.

For more than two decades, Union Investment has partnered with Sagard to provide institutional investors with access to Private Equity through a globally diversified investment platform. Since launching its first programme in 2005, the Frankfurt-based asset manager has established six vintages through Union Investment Luxembourg S.A. across two complementary product lines. The platform has expanded steadily over time, with growth accelerating in recent years. Around 500 Institutional Clients did commit to the different vintages of Private Equity and have increased their strategic allocations to private markets in response to different market environment challenges and the search for differentiated sources of return.
