ALFI Private Assets Conference

This presentation will explore the latest market trends shaping the world of alternative investments, offering both a global perspective and a focused lens on developments within the European markets. Drawing on the most recent performance metrics and asset growth data, it will highlight how investor demand, market dynamics, and macroeconomic conditions are influencing allocations across private equity, private debt, hedge funds, real assets, and other alternative strategies. Attendees will gain insight into the drivers behind capital flows, regional variations in growth, and the evolving role of alternatives in institutional and private portfolios worldwide.

What drives the trend of hybrid portfolios? What are the advantages and challenges? Is diversification through private assets real? Hear about how the "right" allocation can be achieved, how liquidity considerations play into it, and what the future of private assets in multi-asset investing might look like.
