First off, as most US, Japanese and European investors are most heavily into listed stocks and bonds, these will be the ones most under pressure. One trend that is expected to offset this withdrawal of funds is the increase in savings from the Chinese and Indian middle classes. Will these new investors take the place of the retiring ones? Time will only tell, but this instability should cause institutional investors to think twice about staying in most common equities. Secondly, those remaining investors, faced with an uncertain (at best) market in traditional vehicles, will look for high growth opportunities to offset poor performance by established equities and debt. Obviously emerging economies will be high on the list, but foreign exposure will come into play as investors look to get local high growth to reduce the exchange issues. Investments in start-ups are net-new, and don’t have the down side of investor withdrawals. Furthermore, with possible high rewards, against a sea of uncertainty with limited growth, new investments may look positively glowing. Finally, with this net increase of investment from emerging nations, the industrial nation’s currencies will gain in value, further emphasising the need to invest within industrial nations rather than face potential currency losses on foreign high growth opportunities. So, all in all, the next few years should be very good for start-ups that are looking for capital.

Reflections in the Glass Ceiling By John McKee The recent news about one of America's most powerful woman ceo's being removed from office has raised the discussion about gender bias, again. It disappoints me that in 2005, I still hear women clients talking about "the old boys' network". They say "glass ceilings" are holding them back in terms of advancement, pay equity, recognition and career satisfaction. While I have no doubt their assessments are valid; it's important that we don't generalize too much. There are other reasons as well.… 4.
