6. REASONS TO ATTEND
1
Hear directly from the investor community
Investors are broadening their horizons as they move out of
core and core-plus strategies to focus on value-add and
opportunistic investments. Join us at the Forum as we explore
these trends directly with PGGM, Varma, Zurich Insurance
Company, SPF Beheer and The Wellcome Trust.
Discover how LP/ GP relationships have evolved
Relationships between investors and fund managers have
become more sophisticated and complex. Investors are
increasingly scrutinising results of individual deals and digging
deeper during fund due diligence. Find out how to adapt to
these changes and stay ahead of the competition.
Build investor partnerships and widen your network
With attendees from over 25 countries, the Forum is the perfect
platform to engage with potential business partners from
across the world through the networking sessions and
