The fundraising environment has been challenging for some time, driven by macroeconomic headwinds, rising financing costs, and an uncertain growth outlook. How do private asset managers navigate such a landscape? What impact does this have on the industry? What considerations are crucial when fundraising in the EU? This panel of practitioners will discuss the current state of the fundraising market, including fund terms increasingly influenced by investors, extended fundraising periods, and the need for innovative solutions to address liquidity gaps. Additionally, the panel will explore the retail market expansion that is on the horizon. How do different fundraising conditions affect asset managers based on their size and investment strategy? What regulatory requirements must be considered when fundraising in the EU? These are some of the key topics and questions our market experts will illuminate.
