Pension Bridge Private Markets returns to Europe!
Over nearly two decades, Pension Bridge has been synonymous for hosting some of the most important and valuable conferences for the institutional asset management community. At our flagship events, the Annual and the Private Equity Exclusive, we bring together some of the region's largest investors, with assets in the room regularly exceeding $6trn.
In November, Pension Bridge Private Markets Europe returns to The Grove, Watford for one and a half days of candid conversation and knowledge exchange in a unique, retreat style setting.
A conference like no other
Our conferences regularly attract superstar investors who come to meet new and existing managers and ultimately to make new allocations; Investment consultants and industry advisors looking to improve their understanding of the sector and to develop their networks; and asset managers who want to build relationships with investors and consultants, and of course to win business.
This is a conference where asset managers can make game-changing deals by connecting with the one right client.
Why now?
Private markets are undergoing a step change in Europe and globally. Private equity, long held to be the banner of the sector, is facing major headwinds, including legacy denominator effect issues, a lack of LP liquidity and the reality of high rates hitting operating companies.
Demand for private credit, the current golden child of private market allocation, is maturing. Infrastructure, while seeing poor fundraising in 2023, is whetting the appetite of Europe’s major LPs. And real estate, long in the doldrums due to higher rates, offers risk but also opportunity, if allocation is put in the right place.
Pension Bridge Private Markets will convene the most progressive investors in Europe to determine how they are putting their money to work in an era of high rates and uncertainty.
Upholding our global reputation
Unique to the industry, and a hallmark of our conferences is our controlled attendance structure. Through this we aim to deliver a 2:1 investors and investment consultants to manager firms, making our conferences essential for those looking to build relationships and raise capital.
In November, Pension Bridge Private Markets Europe gathered an audience of over 70 allocators from Europe’s top institutional investors and family offices, alongside leading investment consultants and a limited number of asset manager firms, for one and half days of highly interactive and discussion based sessions, and curated networking sessions.
Unparalleled access, unrivalled opportunities
The conference is purposely designed to create a high touch, interactive and intimate atmosphere, with networking at its core.
Keynote presentations and panel discussions will allow you to join audience wide conversations, whilst a number of curated networking sessions will provide you dedicated time with those investors most strategically important to your business.
