Featured perspectives

Themes on our horizon.

Research themes illustrating the questions Phantom Capital follows across private markets, technology and the real economy.

Digital Markets

Tokenisation is becoming infrastructure, not a category

Why the long-term opportunity may lie in the rails connecting assets, identity, custody, settlement and distribution.

Private Equity

The operating edge in a higher-cost capital environment

Growth quality, pricing power and technology-enabled productivity are returning to the center of private equity underwriting.

Infrastructure

Compute, energy and data are converging

AI infrastructure increasingly links semiconductor capacity, data centres, power availability and network connectivity.

Market Structure

Private capital in an increasingly fragmented world

How regionalisation and supply-chain resilience may create new investment and financing needs.

Credit

Complexity can create better structures

Why bespoke financing may become more valuable as borrowers seek alternatives to standardised public-market capital.

Real Assets

Scarcity as an investment variable

Land, minerals, power, logistics capacity and digital infrastructure all share a common constraint: not all strategic assets can be replicated quickly.

Technology

Software is moving deeper into finance

Automation, AI and blockchain are increasingly changing the infrastructure beneath products rather than merely the customer interface.
