The AI investment story is entering a new phase. After the blockbuster listing of SpaceX, investors are now looking ahead to potential IPOs from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.

Sean Aylmer speaks with Dr Kevin Hebner, Managing Director and Global Investment Strategist at TD Epoch, about what the next wave of AI listings means for investors. Kevin explains why the current AI boom could run for another decade, why diversification will matter more than ever, and why today's technology giants won't necessarily dominate tomorrow's market.
