AI exposure doesn’t have to mean chasing volatile tech stocks or betting on unproven growth stories. In this episode, Ninety One’s investment team highlights a quieter path: investing in enduring businesses that are already benefiting from AI in meaningful, measurable ways.

These companies may not make headlines - but with strong balance sheets, stable earnings, and long-term moats, they meet the hallmarks of quality investing while offering exposure to one of the most transformative forces in the global economy.
