Upcoming 2026 Sessions
Private real estate investing is entering a reset as the market moves away from pandemic-era trends and into a cycle shaped by higher interest rates, AI-enabled operations, and greater focus on select property types and capital structures. In this session you will learn key sector and strategy themes as well as how to identify and evaluate private real estate opportunities today.
Market volatility, shifting policy dynamics, and changing tax considerations are prompting advisors to rethink how portfolios are constructed. At the same time, the growth of multi-strategy platforms and broader access to alternative strategies are creating new ways to manage risk and improve after-tax results.
Private credit continues to expand as investors look for income, flexibility, and diversification beyond traditional fixed income. Managers are increasingly using tools such as asset-based finance, credit secondaries, and structured capital to adapt to shifting conditions. At the same time, capital flows tied to AI-related infrastructure and sector-specific lending are reshaping how private credit is deployed.
On Demand Sessions – 2026
As energy systems evolve, AI and data centers drive rising power demand, and governments face funding constraints, private infrastructure is taking on a larger role in long-term portfolios. Beyond energy, essential assets such as water systems, transportation networks, housing, and public facilities are attracting private capital through stable, contract-based cash flows.
