Allocate 2020: CIO views on the road ahead
International CIOs came together at Allocate 2020 to discuss their portfolio strategies for the coming five years.
Increasing exposure to private markets does not come without challenges. Funds are sitting on tremendous amounts of dry powder that will need to be employed in a distressed environment. On the other hand, GPs face a once-in-a-generation opportunity to showcase how they can support portfolio companies beyond the provision of capital.
Our panel shared their views on how CIOs can best tap private markets in this environment.
Participants:
-
Ilya Gertsberg, managing director, Apolis
-
Meiping Yap, private capital team director, Stonehage Fleming
-
Merrick McKay, head of European private equity & private markets, Aberdeen Standard Investments
-
Mariana Valle, head of leveraged finance and direct lending coverage & co-deputy editor for Europe, Debtwire (moderator)
Allocate Private Capital 2020 was a unique event for the private markets community hosted by Unquote on 20 October. It brought together European LPs and GPs to discuss the themes that will define the next cycle of private capital allocation. Click here to watch of selection of some of the other panels and keynotes
