Private Markets for Private Wealth
IMpower FundForum boasts a remarkable 35-year track record as the premier event for Europe’s most prestigious private wealth leaders - private banks, fund buyers, fund of funds, and family offices. No other platform brings together the crème de la crème of the private wealth sector in one place, at one time, with such a deep understanding of what private bank decision-makers are thinking.
For pure-play GPs or traditional asset managers looking to build or enhance their private market capabilities, this is the essential event to learn, educate, and position their products within the market. The event serves as a unique forum for both networking and shaping the future of private markets.
A blueprint for growth for GPs, LPs and Service Providers
What the LPs are thinking and doing: Hear and meet the top decision makers directly.
From Global financial institutions and private banks are integrating private markets into their offerings to diversify client portfolios and enhance returns. For LPs, this brings both opportunities and challenges, particularly in risk management, as they must consider various client channels with differing risk appetites and investment horizons. The choice of partner is critical: should they work with pure-play GPs specializing in private markets or with established asset managers with recognizable brands? Alternatively, platforms offering turnkey solutions could mitigate risk management decisions. The best approach depends on the banks client base, risk tolerance, and desired level of control.
What are the best evergreen structures?
Creating evergreen products for different customer segments requires expertise in asset classes and operational frameworks. These vehicles offer flexibility, appealing to private wealth clients who want long-term exposure with liquidity options. Best practices from GPs include a consistent investment strategy, while service providers focus on fund administration, reporting, and investor relations. LPs evaluate these products based on transparency, liquidity, and governance. They consider both past performance and the ability to adapt to changing market conditions, ensuring the investment aligns with their risk profiles and meets short- and long-term goals.
Profile the asset classes most wanted by private wealth at IMPower FundForum
Asset classes like infrastructure, real estate, private equity, secondaries, and private credit are gaining huge popularity in the private wealth sector. Private credit, in particular, is seen as a new alternative to active management, providing stable returns with lower volatility than traditional equities. Private equity and secondaries offer high potential returns but come with higher risks. Infrastructure and real estate investments are also appealing due to sustainable energy trends and urbanisation.
LPs are increasingly selective, looking for innovation and non-correlated returns. GPs with expertise in these areas are well-positioned to meet growing investor demand for alternatives and we can provide a range of opportunities and features to profile your expertise.
