On August 19, we had the pleasure of hosting an insightful panel discussion at The Three Keys Museum, where industry leaders from Blue Owl Capital, Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions, and EQT Group shared their perspectives on the evolving role of private markets in wealth management.

Against the backdrop of fragmented markets, shifting macroeconomic conditions, growing global infrastructure demands, and accelerating trends in digitalisation and green energy, panellists explored why – despite the S&P 500 reaching an all-time high – now is a pivotal moment to engage clients in private market opportunities. They shared insights on how diverse approaches can unlock strategic value and drive long-term growth.

The session was expertly moderated by William (Bill) Fong of Julius Baer, who guided the conversation with clarity and depth, ensuring a rich and engaging dialogue throughout.

We’re deeply grateful to Blue Owl Capital, Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions, and EQT Group for generously sponsoring the lunch, and to all our speakers Johann Santer, Mandy Lee, and Sueann Yeo, – for their time, expertise, and thoughtful contributions.

The energy in the room and the quality of discussion truly reflected the growing importance of alternatives in today’s portfolios.
