Investment in AI-resistant ‘Halo’ companies helps push UK and EU markets to record highs
Investors are increasingly favoring AI-resistant, tangible assets that can better withstand disruption, according to Goldman Sachs. This shift involves allocating capital to sectors and companies deemed less exposed to automation and AI-driven disruption, as markets reach record highs in the UK and EU.
The rationale is that certain “halo” businesses offer durable demand and resilient earnings, helping portfolios weather AI-driven upheavals. Fund managers are diversifying into physical assets and sectors with limited exposure to rapid technological change.
While tech-driven growth remains valued, investors seek balance by selecting assets with intrinsic value, supply chain resilience, and earnings visibility, aiming to protect returns amid evolving AI-led market dynamics.
