We have put together nearly 30 sessions across four different summit tracks, in a refreshed format. We will bring you perspectives from investors on some of the hot-button investment strategies that are gaining momentum in the region. From private credit to secondaries to allocation bias and the case for venture capital in Asia, the summit will cover the opportunities and challenges for risk capital investors amid a changing landscape.
The summit structure across the two days is as follows:
Day 1
- Private Equity & Investment Summit
- LP, Liquidity & Secondaries Forum
Day 2
- Growth, Technology & Private Markets Forum
- Private Wealth, Capital & Innovation Forum
On Day 1, the Private Equity & Investment Summit and LP, Liquidity & Secondaries Forum will touch upon core strategies, appetite for secondaries, high-conviction markets, the new LP liquidity playbook, and more.
On Day 2, the Growth, Technology & Private Markets Forum and Private Wealth, Capital & Innovation Forum will focus on what it takes to build, finance and scale deep-tech winners from this region; how private equity is being redesigned to tap Asia’s wealth and insurance channels; and Asia’s family offices reshaping private markets.
The summit sessions feature six fireside chats and keynote sessions with
- Dr. Shaojie Shen, CEO, Zhuoyu Technology (ZYT);
- Vishal Mahadevia, Head of Asia Private Equity and Global Co-Head of Financial Services, Warburg Pincus;
- Oki Ramadhana, CEO, Indonesia Investment Authority;
- Kayse Foo, Head, Dana Impak, Khazanah Nasional Berhad Head; and
- Yoshi Kiguchi, Chief Investment Officer, Pension Fund of Japanese Corporations.

The two-day summit also provides ample opportunities for quality engagements and networking with over 1,200 delegates who constitute the senior leadership of the investment ecosystem in the region.
This year’s summit has attracted confirmations from more than 230 LP firms, including sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, development finance institutions, family offices, fund-of-funds and other leading institutional allocators from across Asia and beyond.
Some of the companies joining the summit include GIC, Temasek International, Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, Korea Investment Corporation, Asian Development Bank, and IFC.
