BAI Alternative Investor Conference 2022 | Bundesverband Alternative Investments e.V. (BAI) | 2 May 2022 | Kap Europa, convention center Messe Frankfurt, Osloer Str. 5, 60327 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

BAI, as an association and representative of the alternative investment industry in Germany, would like to use the BAI Alternative Investor Conference (AIC) to continue to offer participants a platform for the exchange of professional ideas, even in times when a face-to-face exchange is not possible while simultaneously making a significant contribution to ensuring that the topic of alternative investments is received with a better understanding by the public. BAI AIC is primarily aimed at institutional investors, but it also offers product and service providers an ideal opportunity to exchange experiences and discuss the latest findings and trends in the AI industry.

Alternative investments are playing an increasingly important role in the portfolios of institutional investors due to their positive characteristics in terms of risk reduction and the opportunity for higher returns. Interest has also been growing steadily for years among investors from Germany, so that many institutional investors are now increasingly investing in alternative investments.
