SPS Private Market Investors’ Annual Seminar
December 6, 2022
The Dilly, London
Purpose
This conference will provide an update on topical issues affecting private market investments, examining the
challenges facing the sector and factors that institutional investors, including pension funds and family offices
should consider when investing. We aim to incorporate discussion of practical issues such as fees,
transparency, liquidity, benchmarking, regulation, IT developments, ESG compliance as well as analysis of
whether and how the inclusion of private market strategies in portfolios before the pandemic helped or
hindered schemes and if there are lessons to be learned.
