In light of recent and ongoing geopolitical events, we have adjusted the EPFIF Swiss Seminar programme, with a new theme: Conflict, Inflation & the Case for Real Assets. With ongoing conflicts and heightened instability in several regions, geopolitical risk is increasingly shaping both market dynamics and longer-term strategic decisions. Against that backdrop, now is such an important time to meet with peers to consider how these developments may affect portfolio construction and allocation frameworks.

The debate over investing in real assets continues, including whether they can really deliver what is expected. We’ll also discuss the role for real assets, especially given the current macro environment with more persistent and ‘higher for longer’ inflation. This seminar looked in detail at the roles, risks and opportunities in Real Estate, Commodities and other Real Assets today for institutional investors.
