Alternative investments - across both private and liquid strategies - offer significant opportunities to enhance portfolio construction, manage risk, and seek enhanced returns. While private equity has traditionally required high minimums and long commitments, new solutions are making private-market return drivers more accessible than ever.

Join your premier association for finance professionals - in partnership with Goldman Sachs - for a forward-looking discussion with experts from The Mather Group, Goldman Sachs, and MSCI as they explore the evolving landscape of alternative investing. This session will examine how private equity, real assets, and the expanding universe of liquid alternatives contribute to stronger portfolio construction across market environments. 

The conversation will highlight the growing role of liquid replication strategies, including ETF implementations, that are lowering barriers to private-market exposures through greater transparency, reduced minimums, and more flexible allocation options. Attendees will gain practical guidance on integrating both private and liquid alternatives to build more resilient, adaptable portfolios in today’s dynamic markets.
