See what the world's top investors are buying and saying

This Week's PicksEditor's weekly picks · start here2026-10-05
This week's pulseThis week, multiple institutions are focusing on the real returns and cash flow issues of AI infrastructure investments. Capital Cycle questions the circular trading model of companies like Iren that rely on "cashless" financial engineering (convertible bonds, supplier notes), arguing that the real cash flows generated by the privatization of small- and mid-cap European companies are more attractive. Scottish Mortgage, on the other hand, remains firmly bullish on AI supply chain bottlenecks, naming NVIDIA, TSMC, ASML, and SK hynix as beneficiaries of "AI development royalties," and highlighting that SpaceX's Starlink has reached an annualized revenue of $17 billion. On the China theme, Baillie Gifford and Scottish Mortgage share a consensus: despite the economic slowdown, Alibaba's AI and cloud business is growing at approximately 45%, and BYD and Xiaomi's "China speed" remains disruptive; Scottish Mortgage further notes that it has already priced in political risk, assuming BYD will not sell passenger vehicles in the U.S.

Great global growth: private investor forum
This piece explains how Baillie Gifford's two strategies, Monks and SAINTS, find undervalued opportunities.

SAINTS prefers cash-generating firms like Coca-Cola that pay steady dividends. Overa…

Beyond consensus: what is active management for?
This piece argues that active investing isn't about having more information, but about forming a genuinely different view of the future. Markets focus on surface events and short-term data, but the real edge lies in understanding the underlying system structure. The author uses BlackBerry as a cautionary tale: analysts thought the market was saturated because they defined it too narrowly (Wall Street workers needing mobile email), but the real de…
