Ferdinand Seibert, Managing Director, Zurich Alternative Asset Management
Michael Lindauer, Managing Director, Global Co-Head of Fund Investments, Allianz Capital Partners
Peter McKellar, Partner/ Chief Investment Officer, SL Capital Partners
Leading investor expectations and how to secure maximum growth in a world of low growth and increasing regulatory pressure?
  • Will the standard PE model work, or do you need to look at more differentiated strategies?
  • Relationship consolidation – the drivers and trends
  • Balancing the need for shorter investment periods and liquidity with the requirements for alpha generators
    • Growth in secondaries and distressed as a response
    • Is the answer shorter buyout investment periods?
  • Are we really seeing the prophesied rebalancing of power to LPs? And in which cases?
  • With up to 66% of commitments going into secondary purchases from other GPs, in an environment of low growth is this a sustainable practice?

14.45 Capital Creation Debate: Private equity in Europe vs. the emerging private equity markets
Andrew Brown, Chief Investment Officer, ECP-Emerging Capital Partners
Alex Munteanu, Managing Director - Private Equity, Dragon Capital
Rapid growth in many emerging markets continues to attract both investors and fund managers --many of whom are facing pressures against a backdrop of low to negative growth across Europe for the foreseeable future – to seek the higher returns and underlying growth present in many of these markets. But is the European situation as bad as we’re reminded daily in the press? Can we justify the risk in emerging markets strategies?
  • Comparing the performance results
  • European attraction: relative value plays and the value of manager expertise, but where will the exits be found?
  • The emerging markets attraction
    • Riding the beta
    • The vastly different skill sets required
    • Regional plays the way to go?
  • Which offers the best risk-adjusted return prospect?
