Advisory to General Public and Potential Investors
Gateway Partners has recently become aware that some investors have been approached by a firm attempting to lure them into making investments on the basis of their investment approach and portfolio, which is a precise impersonation of Gateway’s approach and existing investment portfolio. Individuals or institutions who have been approached to make such investments at that firm do so at their own risk and we advise caution and for investors to conduct the necessary pre-investment due diligence.
To be clear, Gateway Partners operates only through management offices in Singapore and Dubai with no offices or investment affiliates in other locations. The firm is registered in Cayman Islands and the management companies of the firm are regulated by the MAS in Singapore and the DFSA in the DIFC. We are committed to the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and accountability. If you have been approached recently under false pretences or have become aware of the false and inappropriate use of Gateway’s name or its portfolio, please contact us immediately.
The net loss of jobs from disruptive technology is stoking nationalism and populism globally, Gateway Partners CEO V. Shankar said at the Forbes Global CEO Conference underway in Hong Kong.
June 2025
V. Shankar spoke at the Forbes Global CEO Conference held in Hong Kong from 26 – 27 September 2017.
The net loss of jobs from disruptive technology is stoking nationalism and populism globally, Gateway Partners CEO V. Shankar said at the Forbes Global CEO Conference underway in Hong Kong.
“When I look at the future, I think it’s a bit of a glorious contradiction,” the ex-Standard Chartered banker turned investor said. “We live in a Dickensian world. ‘It’s was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.’”
“On the hope and bright light side: You’re obviously got emerging markets becoming the engines and dynamos of global growth. You’re going to have fantastic improvements in healthcare. More and more human beings are going to live as long as Forbes – 100 years and plus. You’re going to have fantastic improvements in food, agriculture, access to stuff—whether it’s information or entertainment,” he said. Some 140 million people are becoming middle class every year — “a fantastic engine of growth. That’s on the positive side,” Shankar said. “On the negative side, I think what technology is doing is exceptionally destructive to the global economic order,” he said. “It’s about loss of jobs.”
During the first 130 years of the industrial revolution, Shankar noted, the global population increased by one billion. “Today, the global population is increasing by one billion every 12-13 years. Will the rate of displacement of jobs ever be matched by the ability to replace those jobs? I see that as a big issue: job loss through disruptive technology.”
