Event Agenda

Sed cautela nimia in peiores haeserat plagas, ut narrabimus postea, aemulis consarcinantibus insidias graves apud Constantium, cetera medium principem sed siquid auribus eius huius modi quivis infudisset ignotus, acerbum et inplacabilem et in hoc causarum titulo dissimilem sui

09:10 - 09:30
LP Congress | Infrastructure in modern private markets portfolios
Think you know infrastructure? Think again. The transition to a more sustainable, connected economy is broadening the opportunity set across spectrum of private assets. New geopolitical dynamics, combined with investor demand for more defensive private market strategies, are only accelerating the trend. What are the underlying drivers? Is strategy expansion a sign of maturation or indiscipline? How should allocators think about a much more complex, nuanced infrastructure landscape?
09:30 - 10:00
LP Congress |Views on asset allocation
As companies stay private for longer and liquidity solutions evolve, how do investment offices adopt the right approach to asset allocation? What role do private markets now play? Do ongoing rolling shocks demand a more agile approach?
10:00
10:00 - 10:30
LP Congress | What’s in the CIO’s inbox?
CIOs are having to navigate investment strategy as the world economy is being rewired by disruption and rewritten by geopolitics. What do they see on the horizon? Strong returns in public markets are mirrored by spluttering private markets. What are the priorities in the year ahead within their own investment programmes? What role does private markets play five years from now?
10:30 - 10:50
LP Congress | Benchmarking private equity performance
10:50 - 11:30
LP Congress | How to manage the tension between primaries and secondaries
Now that the secondary market is so large (and continuing to mature), we explore what tension it may create with making primary commitments. After all, the secondary market gives the optionality for vintage diversification, faster deployment and visible NAV. How do you balance both primary with secondary commitments within the same programme? Have secondaries have become so attractive on a risk-adjusted basis that they're cannibalising primary appetite?
11:30
11:30 - 12:00
LP Congress | Benchmarking private debt returns
12:00
12:00 - 12:30
LP Congress | Private debt - the road to 2030
On private debt, 29% of allocators have a somewhat worse view on opportunities in the asset class compared to last year - the lowest approval rating across all private asset classes. Performance disperson could be to blame, as managers are being tested by their ability to manage credit risk in the face of market uncertainty. Yet the addressable market continues to grow and premium to liquid credit remains a fundamental allocation driver. In this session, we challenge speakers to take a long-term view on where the market is headed and what will determine it’s future.
14:00
14:00 - 14:30
LP Congress | Latest in lower mid-market
The last bastion of alpha in private equity?
14:30 - 15:15
LP Congress | Where diversification goes next
The practice of diversification requires going wider or deeper into private markets. For LPs with established programmes, this can challenge long-held assumptions. Have years of low distributions helped or hindered the diversification discussion? How do allocators review diversification and where to go next? What influence do stakeholders have on what diversification means in practice, such as the debate about sovereignty of pension capital in UK, Nordics and Australia.
15:15
15:15 - 15:45
LP Congress | What does a new era of partnership look like?
The case for being bolder and more creative with GP relationships. LPs trend towards fewer, deeper partnerships with their managers. What are they looking for? Why did they take the decision? How do you make it a success?
15:45 - 16:30
LP Congress | Rewiring the LP
Blue-sky session examining how AI is transforming the job of being an allocator.
16:30
16:30 - 17:00
LP Congress | The big summary
Wrap-up session concluding the key trends that have been observed across the day, taking the temperature of where private markets are at and informing LP-GP dialogue over the next two days of IPEM Global 2026.
