Private Markets Forum 2024 | Finance and Economics Forum | 5 March 2024 | Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute, Langhaldenstrasse 21, 8803 Rüschlikon, Switzerland

The price fluctuations on the capital markets are significant, and uncertainties surrounding the economic outlook continue. High interest rates, stubborn inflation, geopolitical tensions and wars are unsettling investors. They are looking for alternatives. The big beneficiaries of this movement are the private markets, where the water level has been steadily rising since 2009. But there is now an increasing threat of headwind there too.

In the upcoming edition of the conference, we will cover these topics and more, offering you the opportunity to engage with the best in class from the world of private markets investing. During the panel discussions and keynotes, you will receive insights into questions of liquidity, optimization and promotion of sustainability in the portfolio as well as a macroeconomic outlook for private markets.

Embark on a journey of new possibilities together with “Finance and Economy”. Grab the chance to exchange ideas with leading experts and secure your participation now.
