There’s no question that private markets have been a bright spot across asset classes over the past few years. In some cases, their performance has indeed provided the lion’s share of investment return amidst unprecedented market volatility and geopolitical instability. While their historic returns are certainly appealing, private markets are often complex and esoteric, requiring an asset allocator to seek a more holistic and transparent view into the fundamentals of the space. While access to these strategies have traditionally been limited, a confluence of factors has recently expanded access to private markets, injecting additional liquidity into the space as allocators have sought a diversification and return edge. With flows to private equity, private credit, and real assets exponentially increasing, there is enormous growth potential for this area of the market.     

Institutional Investor is thrilled to invite you to a 3-day Investment Retreat, designed for both asset allocators and managers. The event takes the place of three of our previous forums - Global Real Assets Investment Forum, Emerging Markets Forum and Hedge Fund Forum. By combining these events into one, we will be able to more effectively explore the enormous diversification and return potential for private and public markets while also examining the sophistication and careful due diligence required to successfully invest in these complex strategies.     

The Investor Week hosted by Institutional Investor offers sponsorship opportunities for GPs. The event page can be found here.
