Private markets in a shifting economy: Uncertainty creates opportunity
As investors gathered in Miami, they faced a market filled with questions:
- Where are interest rates headed?
- How will inflation impact valuations?
- What do shifting tariffs mean for global dealmaking?
Despite uncertainty, experts pointed to the long-term strength of private capital. With dry powder ready to deploy, lower valuations emerging, and patient capital at play, investors saw a window of opportunity for those who can navigate the cycles strategically.
AI and energy: The future is now
AI stole the show, with experts calling it 10x, maybe 100x more transformative than the internet for private markets. Meanwhile, SuperReturn Energy North America highlighted the massive investment shifts needed to rewire global infrastructure for AI, clean energy, and resilience.

SuperReturn’s networking levelled up with Allocate, a new LP/GP matchmaking tool making connections faster and more strategic than ever.
