Democratisation of alternative investments (EN)

For decades, alternative investments — including
private equity, private credit, infrastructure, and real
estate — were the preserve of institutional players. But
today, that’s changing fast. In this forward-looking panel,
industry leaders discuss how the democratisation of
alternatives is transforming the investment landscape.


Moderated by Manuela M. Fröhlich, Co-Founder and
Partner at Fondsfrauen GmbH, the conversation delves into
the factors enabling broader access to private
markets: technological innovation, the rise of digital investment
platforms, and regulatory developments such as ELTIF
2.0, which now allow qualified private investors to
participate.


Panelists Nalaka De Silva (Head of Private
Market Solutions, abrdn), Henry Wolter
(Manager Client Advisory, AQ Investment AG),
Ulrich Heuberger (Alternative Investments,
HSBC Asset Management), and Philippe Bens
(Head of Regional Coverage Switzerland, CACEIS) share
their insights on how new product structures and
sustainable frameworks are making alternatives more
transparent and accessible than ever before.


The discussion also examines the risks and
responsibilities that come with this trend — including
liquidity constraints, education gaps, and regulatory oversight —
while highlighting the opportunities for investors seeking
diversification and long-term value.


An essential listen for asset managers, private bankers, and
investors looking to understand the future of inclusive
investing.
