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.

Therefore if you are not already receiving an invitation please contact us. A limited number of Complimentary invitations are available to genuine pension fund representatives (executives and trustees) and other approved institutional investors. However, to ensure we have room for as many funds as possible, we have to limit free places to 3 attendees per approved organisation thereafter a reduced rate fee is payable per delegate.
