Details
The 15th Annual AVCJ Australia and New Zealand Private Equity & Venture Forum gathered 280 of the industry’s leading figures in Sydney, including over 115 LPs, for two days of thought-provoking discussions, presentations and networking.
Attendees came from 15 different countries around the world and heard from 55 of the most experienced and successful private market investors, as well as the leading super funds and domestic and foreign institutional investors.
The forum featured expert analysis and market predictions with sessions covering topics including how geo-politics are affecting the investment landscape and what private market managers can do to prevail in these conditions, how Australian GPs can become more institutionalised, the rise of multi-product offerings among domestic GPs, how PE can help Australian companies expand overseas, the strategies VCs are employing to quickly scale companies and take them global and the outlook for succession in Australia given the maturity of funds and make-up of senior management.
