• Retailisation - Tokenisation: the new era of ALT

Moderated by Mathieu Scodellaro – Principal, Head of Investment Funds Practice at PwC Legal Luxembourg

With the rise of investment funds investing in private assets structured as (semi) open-ended funds to meet investors' liquidity requirements, GPs have to pay particular attention to the overall portfolio composition to ensure that the liquidity targets can be met while striking the right balance between the liquidity of the portfolio and its performance. With that dilemma in mind and with the traditional secondary market mechanisms proving to be inefficient, can the tokenisation of shares of investment funds be the silver bullet for asset managers?

• Valuation Oversight 2.0

Moderated by Alexandre Goossens - Advisory Partner & Rafaël Le Saux - Advisory Director at PwC Luxembourg

How to deal with evergreen funds, technological breakthrough, evolving regulatory requirements and fundraising challenges in a volatile and uncertain economy.
