Learn how private wealth investors are reshaping private market strategies through smarter structuring and greater control. This session will reveal how family offices are expanding into private equity, real estate, hedge funds, and private credit - and why direct and co-investment approaches are gaining traction for flexibility and access. Explore how you can balance control, cost, and compliance when choosing between co-investment vehicles, single-asset entities, or private pooled funds. Real-world case studies will show how family offices structure investments across Europe, acquire GP stakes, and build co-investment platforms to optimise returns and governance. You will gain a clear framework for structuring private market allocations that align with evolving investor needs and capture new opportunities in alternative assets. 

This session will compare the relative merits of these structures, unpack the trade-offs between customisation and scalability, and examine how early adopters are launching retail-appropriate vehicles at scale. 

Gain insights into how allocators are deploying both off-the-shelf and tailored wrappers to efficiently meet demand - without overengineering solutions - and how structuring for tax efficiency and cross-border suitability can unlock broader distribution potential.
