Valuation is a key focus, particularly the role of assets under management (AUM) and investment management agreements (IMAs) in underpinning business value.

The conversation highlights how long-term AUM commitments and extended IMAs are increasingly used to lock in value—particularly in joint ventures. Governance, control rights for minority shareholders, and reputational safeguards are also explored, along with the strategic rationale behind joint venture structures.
