(investissements) intemporels
Pour moi, un terme technique pour traduire "ageless" est "intemporel".
Le sens est que les investissements peuvent durer éternellement.

: Even for marketing BS, it's going too far. No technology will last forever. They're basically saying they'll use the latest technology, not s.t. that's going to become quickly obsolete.

: En parlant d'une déco, OK : intemporel au sens d'indémodable. Mais pour un investissement, je ne vois pas trop.

(toujours) plein d'avenir
Je pense aussi à "future-proof" et je ne choisirais pas un terme à connotation négative comme "âge", mais avec une connotation positive dans le sens de "durable".

Discussion
Given that the ST is supposed to be about "Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)", would that mean that this company makes some machinery customised for each client?
Or are they not making anything, but only giving some kind of investment advice, as you could also interpret the sentence that way.
What are "these challenges"? That might clarify the picture.
BTW, what would make far more sense:
We are partners with our customers in analyzing these challenges and ensuring they invest in solutions that are sustainable and ageless. (it's not the money that is "sustainable and ageless", but the solutions in which the money is invested.)
"ageless" in the sense that whatever solutions they propose to their clients, these solutions are not going to quickly become obsolete. Like (about 10-15 years ago), Microsoft waiting the end of Christmas sales to release a new wave of far better performing computers that made freshly bought computers obsolete in few weeks.
