PE Risk & Return
Investors can select from a wide array of private equity investment strategies. These strategies range from fund types that have the potential to offer superior returns but are accompanied with a large amount of risk, to strategies that provide lower levels of risk but are more likely to result in con-servative, stable returns. We discuss both early and late stage VC funds.

Real Estate & Infrastructure - Opportunities in today’s markets
What is required to turn promising Asian demographic and GDP growth figures into attractive real estate returns? Or should we focus on European opportunities? In contra-ry, Swiss investors still shay away from international real estate investments. What are the reasons and are recent commit-ments from Swiss investors setting a new trend? Experts will discuss those questions and opportunities in today’s markets.
