FAROS Spring Forum 2022 | DFV Euro Finance Group GmbH | 6 April 2022 | Hilton Frankfurt City Centre, Hochstraße 4, 60313 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Alternative asset classes such as real estate, infrastructure, private debt and private equity have long been the focus of institutional investors. It's no wonder, given that in addition to a balanced risk profile, they also offer stable returns and are therefore ideally suited as a substitute for fixed-income investments. But it is difficult to get an overview of these so-called private markets: an increased range of products combined with little publicly available information often causes investors to hesitate, and many questions arise about practical implementation and the right form of investment. Which asset class is suitable for which investor? How should investors go about building an alternatives quota? How is the data situation?
