As private markets move from a niche allocation to a core part of portfolios, many investors are discovering that their operating models were not built to support this level of complexity. While much of the industry focus has been on workflows, systems and reporting, many family offices and private wealth firms have scaled external exposure faster than their internal governance, creating fragility around how decisions are made, where authority sits and how organisations respond under pressure.

This session will explore what a more deliberate operating model for private markets looks like. Hear where governance structures, decision-making frameworks and internal processes begin to break down as allocations grow, and how you can redesign your operating layer to support larger, more complex portfolios. Understand how to strengthen oversight, improve coordination across your teams and build an operating model that can support long-term growth without creating operational or governance risk.
