PMI Dallas: Alternative Investment & Business Owner Summit

Tickets are sold out for this exclusive event.

 

Private Markets Insider (PMI) brings together thought leaders in alternative investments seeking to optimize capital protection and returns. This collaborative program enables peer-to-peer sharing of valuable insights on current market trends, opportunities, and challenges.

PMI begins the agenda with a keynote presentation led by Robert Kaplan:

Robert Kaplan discusses monetary, fiscal, and broader economic policy:

  • How did the economy get to where it is today? Where is it likely to go from here?
  • What key fundamental and structural drivers influence US and global economies?
  • Can the Private Markets investors look past short-term, cyclical developments which tend to dominate discussions about economic conditions?

In the following panels, senior institutional fund investors (LPs) and market-leading fund managers (GPs) address opportunities in Private Credit and Secondaries, two of the most-discussed investment strategies, as we consider current trends and Robert’s timely insights.
