Pension Bridge The Private Equity Exclusive 2021 | Pension Bridge | 27 July 2021 | Virtual Event

Across the 4 half day event, we welcomed over 850 delegates, including nearly 400 investors and consultants, with an astounding $5.25tn of assets in the virtual room. There was some great content provided across the panel discussions and individual presentations, notably Andrea Auerbach and David Fann's thought-provoking keynote address and an in-depth investor outlook presented by Eric Foran.

Through our detailed matching process, we were able to arrange over 700 introductory meetings between investors and managers. By working directly with investors and consultants to agree these meetings with relevant, properly briefed managers ahead of time, we were able to ensure a high completion rate and feedback from investors has been extremely positive.

5 key questions answered at the event?

• LPs will Discuss their Top Priorities, Most Attractive Investments and Biggest Concerns.
• How can LPs Understand and Reduce Costs while Overcoming the Lack of Transparency?
• Finding Lower or Non-Correlation Investments that can Withstand the Coming Recession, including a Discussion on Whether Healthcare is Recession-Proof?
• Where in the Private Credit Spectrum can you find Good Returns Without Taking Inordinate Risk?
