This annual event has been held exclusively for institutional investors for over a decade. Reflecting the growing interest of ultra-high-net-worth retail clients in the alternative investment market, this year, for the first time, the event was held separately for both institutional and individual clients.
Amid the rapidly changing global financial market environment, the forum introduced global alternative investment opportunities that offer both new growth prospects and stability, attracting over 300 participants and garnering significant attention.
The alternative investment market primarily raises funds in private formats and consists of private equity, private credit, and tangible assets.
This year’s forum featured a series of presentations by leading global private alternative asset managers, including Blackstone, KKR, Apollo, and Neuberger Berman. The sessions covered topics such as private equity investment strategies, an introduction to and outlook for private credit, real estate market recovery and investment opportunities, and the resilience of co-investments amid volatility.
Attending clients expressed satisfaction, noting that it was an opportunity to gain in-depth insights into the latest trends, outlooks, and investment strategies in global private alternative investments from industry experts.
In the first half of this year, Samsung Securities, through an exclusive partnership with Blackstone, successfully raised 110 million dollars from retail clients for the Blackstone private alternative fund, marking a first in Korea. In addition to Blackstone, Samsung Securities has established direct partnerships with leading global private equity managers such as Ares, EQT, Schroders, Golub, and Coller, supplying exclusive products.
