Sustainable investment, resilient business & tokenisation in the spotlight at FundForum 2026

Day two at FundForum 2026 continued the momentum, bringing sustainability, resilience and digital innovation into sharp focus.

Across the venue, conversations centred on how managers are adapting to geopolitical fragmentation, evolving client expectations and the accelerating shift toward tokenised investment infrastructure. In the wealth and asset management industry, one thing is clear: the future of wealth is being shaped by those who can innovate, scale and stay resilient. And today, those themes defined every discussion.

Sustainable investment and the resilience imperative

Sustainable investment was a key talking point, driven by supply‑chain disruption and rising security concerns. Speakers explored how sustainability is evolving beyond traditional ESG frameworks toward themes of sovereignty, resource stability and long‑term resilience. Managers discussed how these pressures are prompting a rethink in investment strategies, influencing asset allocation, thematic exposure and client engagement across global markets.

Next‑generation leadership and the future talent network

Network building for the next generation of asset and wealth management leaders was at the heart of FundForum. Sessions highlighted how firms are developing talent pipelines, supporting career mobility and preparing emerging leaders for a market defined by technology, geopolitical complexity and shifting client expectations. The conversations underscored how leadership development is becoming a strategic priority, shaping the future of distribution, investment and operational excellence.

Tokenisation and the drive to innovate and scale

Tokenisation took up a bigger role in the agenda, with delegates examining how digital asset infrastructure can reshape liquidity, access and operational efficiency. Speakers explored opportunities to innovate and scale success, from tokenised private market vehicles to digital distribution pathways that streamline investor onboarding and compliance. While adoption remains early, the tone was ambitious, reflecting a sector actively evaluating where tokenisation fits within existing operating models.

Reflecting on FundForum 2026

As FundForum 2026 came to an end, the conversations across all three days revealed a clear narrative: resilience, innovation and strategic clarity are becoming the defining characteristics of the future of wealth. From sustainability and security to digital evolution and leadership development, the industry is navigating structural change with discipline and collaboration.

FundForum 2026 brought these dynamics into focus, and the work of shaping the future of wealth continues long after the event concludes.
