Private Markets Outlook (Invite only)

-

In recent years, private markets have experienced significant growth and transformation, but 2024 presents new challenges such as rising geopolitical tensions, inflationary pressures, and unpredictable interest rate shifts. Large-scale mergers have slowed, while mid-market deals are gaining momentum due to stable valuations and well-capitalized targets. How can investors capture long-term value while navigating setbacks and identifying new opportunities? What trends will shape the future of private markets, particularly in regions like the Middle East? As they manage risk, how are General and Limited Partners integrating social, environmental, and technological considerations into their strategies? This roundtable of leading asset owners will explore key developments and strategies for staying ahead in an evolving landscape.
