AFD 2024 AGENDA

The panel session will elaborate on latest perspective on the diverse and complex world of alternative investments. This session will gather leading minds in the industry to shed light on the latest strategies that are driving success in alternative investment funds, including private equity, hedge funds, real estate, commodities, and beyond. While wealth opportunities are growing in many established and emerging fund jurisdictions, the question is how do fund managers access this investor group and what are the points of attention. Most topical issues will be discussed by the experts, including: (1) fundraising for alternative asset fund; (2) leveraging emerging technologies to navigating regulatory landscapes; (3) access points and distribution models from limited networks to marketplaces; (4) embracing diversification strategies.
