Seven summits, one Asia playbook

Asia's private markets specialists had the floor before the main stage even opened. On the Specialist Summits Day at SuperReturn Asia, seven tracks ran side-by-side focused on LP/GP relations and fundraising, private credit, venture capital, AI and deep tech investing, energy and infrastructure, country-focused and private wealth.

Watch our highlights video below to get inside the rooms where those conversations happened. From LPs pressing GPs on fee transparency and manager selection, to venture investors debating whether secondaries have become a strategy rather than an exit of last resort, the day moved fast across asset classes and borders.

The agenda ranged from data centre financing and battery storage economics in energy and infrastructure, to AI valuation discipline and the picks and shovels of the AI build-out, to country deep dives on Japan's structural tailwinds, India's deeptech shift and Singapore's evolving role as Asia's structuring base. Specialist audiences came for specialist answers, and the summits delivered them in rooms built for exactly that kind of depth. If the main conference is where Asia's private markets converge, Specialist Summits Day is where they get specific.
