What are the top 5 most significant legal and regulatory reforms that investors should know about? How are capital markets regulations and infrastructure evolving? What should investors expect in the next chapter?
How are GPs and LPs adapting strategies to protect portfolios, manage evolving investor expectations and identify clear signals amid market noise? With GCC emerging as a resilient growth hub, how are investors recalibrating their playbooks to seize opportunities and mitigate risks in this evolving market?
What are the disruptions and innovations that will drive value creation in the next decade?

Understanding Saudi Arabia’s evolving development finance architecture
From infrastructure to tourism, how are the developmental fund entities working together and what direction are they moving in as the Kingdom transitions from capital formation to capital deployment? Where are they now in terms of capital deployment, strategy and collaboration with the private sector? What opportunities do they present to local and global GPs and LPs?
Take part in our brand-new matchmaking feature, SuperReturn Allocate where each LP will have quickfire meetings with 3-6 GPs. Attendees will be matched in advance based on pre-selected filters to ensure they meet with LPs and GPs with similar investment strategies.
Differentiation is everything. What defines ‘winning’ private credit strategy today asset-backed vs cash flow lending, mid-market vs large cap, direct origination vs club deals? What are LPs really buying and where is real alpha being generated?
What are LPs looking for in a fund manager and how are GPs local and global adjusting their pitch, structure and strategy to meet those expectations? With dry powder concentrated in fewer hands, how can first time and emerging managers position themselves credibly in this cycle? Where do GCC LPs fit in the global fundraising picture – what matters most to them (alignment access, co-investment, transparency) and how should GPs approach them differently to traditional global LPs?
How are LPs refining their manager selection process to identify exceptional investment partners? What frameworks are LPs using to evaluate manager prudence beyond self-reported track records? How can LPs develop effective strategies for building meaningful relationships with regional GPs?
