SuperInvestor Rebrands as SuperReturn Europe, Reflecting Core Focus on European Private Markets
SuperReturn Europe is a cornerstone in the private capital calendar, with 85% of its audience consistently drawn from across Europe. The event will continue to serve as the must-attend meeting place for key stakeholders from the region and beyond looking to unlock insights, forge connections, and explore opportunities within European private markets.
Dorothy Kelso, Managing Director of SuperReturn, said: 'As the conference celebrates a quarter of a century at the heart of Europe's private capital industry, it feels like the right moment to evolve our identity to reflect what this event has become. SuperReturn Europe is the hub for European private markets, delivering 500+ LPs and 750+ GPs – 80% of them at C-suite/Partner/Director level – who undertake in excess of 45,000 meetings across the 4 days of the conference. Furthermore, we know that the timing of the event in Q4 is valuable for GPs who are looking to close their funds by the end of the year or soft-launch funds they will be raising next year. While the event maintains its global reach, with attendees from over 50 countries, the new identity affirms our commitment to the region and to addressing the trends, innovations, and opportunities that matter most to Europe-focused LPs and GPs.'
SuperReturn Europe 2025 will address the most pressing themes shaping the continent's private capital ecosystem, including:
Why is the lower mid-market a new hotspot for investment in Europe?
How are co-investments reshaping the market?
What factors are driving the rise of evergreen funds in private credit?
How has the need for liquidity driven growth across the European secondaries market?
How big is the private wealth opportunity?
As private wealth continues to grow as a key source of capital, SuperReturn is scaling its coverage of this capital source. Co-located with the main event, SuperReturn Family Office Europe will deliver an in-depth focus on the distinctive opportunities and challenges facing family office investors in European private markets.
The newly renamed SuperReturn Europe will take place at the Hotel Okura, Amsterdam, from 4–7 November 2025. Attendees — whether long-time supporters or first-time delegates — can expect the same market-leading content, unparalleled networking, and strategic insights that have defined the event for the past 25 years.

Bonds Fall on Jobs Strength as Stocks Grind Higher: Markets Wrap
(Bloomberg) -- Treasuries fell as jobless claims hit the lowest since April, underscoring labor-market strength that's keeping the Federal Reserve on hold. Stocks hovered near record highs amid a deluge of corporate earnings. Trump Awards $1.26 Billion Contract to Build Biggest Immigrant Detention Center in US The High Costs of Trump's 'Big Beautiful' New Car Loan Deduction Salt Lake City Turns Winter Olympic Bid Into Statewide Bond Boom Can This Bridge Ease the Troubled US-Canadian Relationship? Bonds dropped for a second day, with 10-year yields rising two basis points to 4.40%. Traders slightly pared bets on Fed cuts, projecting less than two reductions this year. The S&P 500 edged higher, with Alphabet Inc. up and Tesla Inc. down after their results. As European policymakers tempered expectations of policy easing, German bunds slid. The dollar and the euro wavered. Subscribe to the Stock Movers Podcast on Apple, Spotify and other Podcast Platforms. Read: 10-Year TIPS Auction Draws 1.985%, Near WI Yield at Bid Deadline Applications for US unemployment benefits fell for a sixth straight week - the longest stretch of declines since 2022. The characterization of the labor market will be a key feature of next week's Fed meeting. To Bret Kenwell at eToro, while the labor market is not firing on all cylinders, it's not showing signs of distress either. If next week's jobs data give another reassuring nod to the labor market, he says investors may breathe a further sigh of relief. 'There are still few signs of major cracks in the labor market,' said Chris Larkin at E*Trade from Morgan Stanley. 'And if that picture remains intact, the Fed has one less reason to cut interest rates.' President Donald Trump will visit the Fed Thursday to tour the construction site he's criticized for cost overruns amid his escalating attacks on Fed Chair Jerome Powell for not cutting rates. The S&P 500's record-setting spree may be stoking concerns about inflated share prices and a revival of meme-stock froth, but JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s trading desk isn't concerned. Rather, it expects the furious rally in US equities to keep going. 'While bullishness is not yet consensus, client conversations reveal that even those that skewed bearish are throwing in the towel,' the bank's head of global market intelligence Andrew Tyler said Thursday in a note ahead of the market open. Trading desks at firms including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Citadel Securities are telling clients to buy cheap hedges against potential losses in US stocks as a slew of risks loom over the market's record advance. US margin debt, a measure showing how much investors are borrowing to buy stocks on the New York Stock Exchange, is starting to run too hot — a potentially concerning sign for the credit market, according to credit strategists at Deutsche Bank AG. The market euphoria may continue if there are unexpected tariff reductions or a more dovish stance by the Fed than investors anticipate, the strategists said. US stocks face near-term risk as the market is too complacent about tariffs and the related backlash, according to BNP Paribas Asset Management strategist Chi Lo. On the trade front, Trump suggested he would not go below 15% as he sets so-called reciprocal tariff rates ahead of an Aug. 1 deadline, an indication that the floor for the increased levies was rising. While some investors are concerned about 'frothiness,' Craig Johnson at Piper Sandler says that, from a technical point of view, that this is not the case when looking 'down-cap' from the heavy-weights in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices. 'We believe that this bull market is broadening out in terms of participation,' he said. In a sign of how breadth remains, the NYSE advance-decline line, a popular indicator that tracks the number of securities rising minus the number falling on the exchange each day, hit fresh highs. Corporate Highlights: Elon Musk warned of difficult times ahead for Tesla Inc. following one of the carmaker's worst stretches since it first started producing electric sedans over a dozen years ago. Alphabet Inc. said demand for artificial intelligence products boosted quarterly sales, and now requires an extreme increase in capital spending — heightening pressure on the company to justify the cost of keeping up in the AI race. International Business Machines Corp. reported weaker-than-expected sales in its closely watched software segment, disappointing investors who have grown increasingly optimistic about the business. Microsoft Corp. said a Chinese hacking group is exploiting security vulnerabilities in the company's SharePoint servers to deploy ransomware, following a cyberattack discovered last week that has affected hundreds of entities around the world. UnitedHealth Group Inc. is responding to criminal and civil requests from the US Department of Justice about its Medicare practices, the company said, confirming reports of probes that have added to mounting challenges for the largest US health insurer. Union Pacific Corp., North America's largest railroad, is in advanced discussions with Norfolk Southern Corp. about a potential tie-up in what would be the industry's largest deal ever. LVMH sales fell as shoppers reined in purchases of costly Louis Vuitton bags and Dior jackets, a sign the luxury titan remains stuck in its post-pandemic slump. American Airlines Group Inc. scaled back its earnings outlook amid deep fare discounts offered to woo reluctant travelers back on flights during a slump in consumer demand. Southwest Airlines Co. expects economic turmoil to erase as much as $1 billion of its annual pre-tax profit this year, prompting the US airline to offer shareholders a much-reduced outlook for 2025. Union Pacific Corp., North America's largest railroad, is in advanced discussions with Norfolk Southern Corp. about a potential tie-up in what would be the industry's largest deal ever. The Food and Drug Administration won't sign off on Sarepta Therapeutics Inc. bringing its controversial gene therapy back to the market until the company can persuade US regulators that it won't cause more deaths, according to an official familiar with the situation. Dow Inc. slumped after the chemical company reported its first quarterly loss in five years as trade and tariff uncertainties weighed on volumes. T-Mobile US Inc., the nation's second-largest wireless provider, reported more new subscribers than analysts were expecting in the second quarter, overcoming a sluggish start to the year. Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. cut its annual outlook for the second time this year, suggesting that honey chicken and burrito giveaways haven't been enough to offset a traffic slump that the company attributed to economic anxiety. Blackstone Inc. reported a 25% jump in distributable earnings for the second quarter, buoyed by profits from its retail and evergreen funds. ServiceNow Inc. gave a strong outlook for revenue growth in the third quarter and touted customer adoption of its artificial intelligence software tools. Roche Holding AG is weighing direct-to-patient drug sales in the US, bypassing the middleman for its pricey medicines for multiple sclerosis, eye disease and cancer.

SES and the Luxembourg Government to Develop and Launch New Defence Satellite for GovSat
LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SES and the Luxembourg Government today announced their plan for development of a second satellite for GovSat (LuxGovSat S.A.), the public-private partnership and 50/50 joint venture between SES and the Luxembourg Government that provides secure, reliable and accessible satellite communication services for governments. GovSat-2 will be positioned over the European satellite arc. It will join GovSat-1 in augmenting reliable connectivity services for government customers over the region. The satellite will be built by Thales Alenia Space on its Spacebus 4000B2 platform. Since launching in 2018, the joint venture's first defence satellite, GovSat-1, operated by GovSat from a secure missions operations centre in Luxembourg, has supported the Luxembourg Directorate of Defence, EU and NATO nations, the U.S. Department of Defense, and other governmental users. It has been providing connectivity for theatres of operation, interconnection of institutional as well as defence sites, border control, Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance, and various other types of communications for air, land and maritime missions. The state-of-the-art GovSat-2 satellite will extend the coverage and scale of GovSat, and is designed to address the needs of defence users at the highest Security and Service Assurance Level. The satellite will add new ultra-high frequency (UHF) channels, X- and military Ka-band, and will include other security features such as dedicated hardening, an advanced anti-jamming system, and embedded geolocation. The investment in GovSat-2 is in line with SES's stated financial policy criteria, and also in line with prior combined company CAPEX guidance. The satellite will be co-funded by SES and the Luxembourg Government, subject to approval of the corresponding draft law by Parliament. 'The procurement of GovSat-2 underscores the success of the GovSat public-private partnership to provide Luxembourg, our allies and partners with secure military satellite communications that supplement their national systems and support a wide range of critical military, defence and civilian security applications,' said Yuriko Backes, Minister of Defence of Luxembourg. 'With GovSat-2, Luxembourg will once again demonstrate its significant impact in the field of Space.' 'With geopolitical shifts and an increased need for scalable national security and defence capabilities, we are seeing growing demand for secure, reliable geostationary (GEO) connectivity with comprehensive coverage across Europe, the Middle East and Africa as well as the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, the Mediterranean and the Baltic Seas,' said Adel Al-Saleh, CEO of SES. 'As governments across Europe look to bolster their sovereign satellite communications for defence and intelligence needs, GovSat-2 gives GovSat additional MILSATCOM capacity to address this strategic area of growth.' 'GovSat-2 reflects the growing demand in military satcom, allowing our GovSat public-private venture to scale and broaden the services we have been providing since 2018. For this brand new satellite, we are adding more frequency bands along with innovative functionalities for it to be well-positioned to address the future connectivity challenges the NATO and partner nations face,' said Patrick Biewer, CEO of GovSat. About SES At SES, we believe that space has the power to make a difference. That's why we design space solutions that help governments protect, businesses grow, and people stay connected—no matter where they are. With integrated multi-orbit satellites and our global terrestrial network, we deliver resilient, seamless connectivity and the highest quality video content to those shaping what's next. Following our Intelsat acquisition, we now offer more than 100 years of combined global industry leadership—backed by a track record of bringing innovation 'firsts' to market. As a trusted partner to customers and the global space ecosystem, SES is driving impact that goes far beyond coverage.
