Australia’s Capital Allocation in a Changing Global Landscape (Invite only)

-
REQUEST INVITE

Australian asset owners are among the largest institutional investors globally due to the sheer scale and steady growth of Australia’s compulsory retirement savings system and expanding single family offices. Their long-term horizons, strong liquidity, and sophisticated internal investment teams enable them to act as major global players in private markets, infrastructure, energy transition assets, and real estate. Expanding their presence in Europe, America, and Asia, they increasingly shape global capital flows, influence LP-GP dynamics, and set high standards for ESG, governance, and co-investment practices. What Australian asset owners paying attention to in global capital markets? What changes are they making to their strategic asset allocation, especially with alternatives, to capture long term returns while balancing risk and liquidity concerns?
