Portfolio management: Adapting to a new reality
Rising interest rates, inflation, higher borrowing costs, and reduced consumer spending – these appear to be the defining forces in an increasingly challenging post-pandemic return to reality. For private equity, it means greater portfolio volatility and extended holding periods. Addressing these operational risks requires sector expertise, well-executed value creation plans, and the ability to work with management while making tough decisions around costs and capex. Our expert panellists discuss how to generate alpha amidst adversity.
- What represents the biggest macro challenge to portfolio management?
- How are GPs thinking about cost controls and debt burdens?
- What represents best-in-class in terms of internal operational capabilities?
- To what extent is technology a panacea in value creation?

11.00 - 11.45AEDTPrivate wealth: Filling the fundraising gap
High net worth individuals represent a huge and largely untapped source of capital for private equity globally. In an advisor-led Australian market, wealth management platforms have emerged as a prominent access point. Working effectively with these groups means understanding that their customers can differ markedly from institutional investors in terms of sophistication, education, risk appetite, and economic objectives. Our panellists explain how they assess opportunities and consider the long-term implications of democratising private markets.
- How popular is private equity versus other private markets options?
- Will semi-liquid products come to dominate the high-net-worth space?
- Is there scope for customisation in areas like fees, capital calls, and reporting?
- What more can be done in terms of education and expectations management?
11.45 - 12.30AEDTLP spotlight: In search of performance
With longstanding tailwinds becoming less pronounced, the gap between outperforming and underperforming managers is expected to widen. Moreover, there is no guarantee that what worked in the last cycle will be equally effective in the next. These factors make GP selection increasingly important – it is not just about momentum plays that allow LPs to put large amounts of capital to work. Our panel of seasoned investors explains where they are putting their money and why.
- Have LPs redrawn their pacing models and revised assumptions on distributions?
- What questions are being asked of GPs that weren’t being asked two years ago?
- To what extent have fund terms and conditions swung back to favour LPs?
- How prevalent are ESG and DEI in allocation decisions?
