mallowstreet Private Markets Indaba 2027

Important

Delegates are expected to attend the full event. We do understand that this is a time commitment in diaries. Please do let us know if you need to step away for a call/meeting and we shall adjust your personal agenda.

Private markets are evolving rapidly, with institutional investors continuing to assess new opportunities across private equity, private credit, infrastructure, real estate and emerging areas of the market. As the opportunity set expands, so too does the need to understand where private assets can play a meaningful role within a portfolio, and how best to access them.


The mallowstreet Private Markets Indaba brings pension professionals together for a full day of discussion, debate and practical insight into the changing private markets landscape. Through expert keynotes and interactive Investment Masterclasses, delegates will explore the latest developments across private markets, assess different approaches to accessing these opportunities and consider what they mean for institutional portfolios.


From portfolio construction and diversification to liquidity, valuations, manager selection and implementation, the day will focus on the decisions investors face when building and managing private market allocations. Delegates will hear specialist perspectives, challenge conventional thinking and share experiences with peers navigating similar investment considerations.


Expect informed debate, practical insights and a closer look at where private markets are heading, and what institutional investors should be considering next.
