Institutional Allocation, Governance, and Portfolio Construction Across Private Markets
A closed-door institutional forum examining how global allocators are navigating private equity, private credit, real assets, and hybrid strategies in an environment of capital repricing, longer durations, and outcome dispersion.
Forum Overview
The Global Private Markets Forum is an invitation-only convening for senior institutional decision-makers focused on portfolio construction and governance across private markets.
As private markets mature and expand in scale, institutions are increasingly challenged by allocation complexity, manager dispersion, liquidity management, and alignment across strategies and cycles. The forum provides a setting to examine how these challenges are being addressed in practice — across private equity, private credit, real assets, and multi-asset private portfolios.
Discussions are designed to move beyond asset-class silos and fund-level narratives, focusing instead on how institutions assess risk, structure exposure, and govern private market portfolios over the long term.

The forum is structured around institutional questions shaping private markets allocation globally:
Private Markets in a Repriced Capital Environment
How higher rates, slower deployment, and capital selectivity are reshaping private market opportunity sets.
Portfolio Construction Across Private Assets
Allocator approaches to balancing private equity, private credit, real assets, and hybrid strategies within institutional portfolios.
Manager Dispersion & Selection Discipline
Assessing widening performance gaps, underwriting standards, and re-up decisions across cycles.
Liquidity, Duration & Capital Planning
Managing cash flows, exit timing, and portfolio pacing amid longer hold periods and constrained exits.
Alignment, Governance & Incentives
Evaluating GP alignment, fund structures, and governance mechanisms at scale.
Intersections Between Public & Private Markets
How macro conditions, regulation, and public market signals are influencing private market strategy.
These themes are framed to support allocation and governance decisions, not product promotion.
Participation is by invitation and limited to senior roles, including:
- CIOs, Heads of Private Markets, and Investment Committee members
- Senior partners and principals from private equity, private credit, and real asset platforms
- Sovereign institutions, pensions, insurers, and family offices
- Advisors and specialists supporting institutional portfolio governance
The forum is conducted in a peer-level, closed-door setting, with no press and no promotional content.
Invitation-only participation
- Closed-door, off-record discussions
- Allocator-led perspectives
- Cross-asset dialogue (private equity, credit, real assets)
- No product pitches or platform promotion
The format is designed to enable candid institutional dialogue grounded in real allocation experience.
Global private markets have become central to institutional portfolios, yet the assumptions underpinning allocation, diversification, and risk management are being actively re-examined.
Institutions are contending with longer durations, valuation uncertainty, liquidity constraints, and increasing divergence in manager outcomes, alongside greater regulatory and governance scrutiny. Traditional frameworks for allocating to private markets are evolving as portfolios grow in size and complexity.
The Global Private Markets Forum exists to provide a closed-door environment where allocators, GPs, and institutional stakeholders can examine how private market portfolios are structured, governed, and managed across cycles — focusing on discipline, alignment, and long-term resilience rather than transactions or fundraising.
