WHY ATTEND?
Full overview
Middle Eastern asset owners have undergone a significant evolution over the past decade. Once focused on oil-derived wealth, regional sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) are now driving economic transformation in line with ambitious national development plans. Alongside SWFs, family offices are increasingly formalising their operations while pension funds have undergone reforms and consolidation to improve efficiency.
These shifts present opportunities and challenges for asset managers. SWFs now demand not only strong returns, but also strategic alignment with their domestic priorities and visions. Family offices are increasingly seeking exposure to alternatives, while pension funds are prioritising sustainability and risk management. Asset managers must identify which asset classes resonate with these groups to position themselves as indispensable partners to the GCC’s economic transformation.
This webinar will examine the key factors behind these developments and provide actionable insights for asset management professionals. The discussion will explore the evolving strategies of asset owners, how asset managers should respond to these shifts, and which asset classes hold the most promise in this dynamic landscape.
