‘Excellent organisation, tremendous added value thanks to the one-on-one discussions and the outstanding programme!’
Private markets are increasingly becoming the focus of family offices, foundations and institutional investors in the DACH region. Private equity, private credit, infrastructure and real estate investments offer not only attractive return potential, but also stability and diversification.
Our programme has been developed in close collaboration with leading experts and offers solutions to precisely these challenges, which have been developed through extensive research.
Experience first-hand how investment decisions are made in a market environment characterised by geopolitical uncertainty, growing volatility and unstable public markets, and how alternative investments are becoming a strategic necessity.
Be part of a community of investors who make investment decisions in the private markets sector. Learn from industry leaders and find out more about the best practical approaches to achieving your investment goals in this area.
Thematic focus:
- Private equity and venture capital: buyouts, growth and secondaries in a challenging interest rate environment
- Private credit as an anchor of stability: direct loans and special financing as a risk-adjusted income component.
- Infrastructure investments in the age of transformation: energy, digitalisation and security of supply
- Real assets & infrastructure with ESG added value: green energy, mobility and supply networks in focus for long-term allocations.
- Sustainable real estate strategies: decarbonisation, ESG compliance and urban repositioning
- Portfolio allocation in volatile times: How family offices strategically utilise private markets
