The Private Markets Summit is a new senior-level forum hosted by Fund Business, focused on the best practice management of private assets.

It is intended as a forum for asset owners and other institutional investors to gather and discuss their challenges, along with the firms that manage these assets, to work towards making the industry more efficient for the benefit of both parties. We expect 80-100 senior investment and operational attendees.

The event will examine a selection of focused topics through presentations, panel sessions, discussion and Q&A. The agenda covers valuations, investment risk management, governance and oversight, performance measurement, data & reporting challenges and due diligence along with ESG considerations.
