In-Person Panel Discussion

Private markets are no longer solely the domain of institutions and the ultra-wealthy. Our moderated panel on alternative investments explores the growing opportunity to bring alternative asset classes like private credit, equity and real estate to retail portfolios. The discussion covers the merits, risks and challenges of these assets, evolving regulations and practical strategies for incorporating these less-liquid investments into a broader portfolio. Our panelists provide their perspectives on “democratizing” access to these markets and evaluating investment approaches that include private markets.
