The Executive Board of SWISS CAPITALMARKETFOURM
Alternative Investments are booming in Switzerland, whether it be Private Equity & Debt, Real Estate, Venture Capital, Infrastructure & Digital Assets to name just a few. This year we have put together an impressive array of specialists and leading experts who will discuss and develop the critical themes affecting alternative investments, thorugh a series of moderated discussion sessions including:
- Infrastructure development has come to the fore as a key policy measure for economic recovery in a post-pandemic world. What are the leading forces behind such ambitious plans and how can pension funds benefit from initiatives such as the European Union’s Euro 780 m recovery plan or President Biden’s US$2 trillion infrastructure plan? What is the role of green infrastructure and how can investors best benefit from these trends?
- Decentralised Finance (“DeFi”) is a developing eco systems where financial products become available on public decentralised blockchain network. Switzerland is one of the leading hubs for this new eco system – what is in it for pension funds?
- The Swiss Future Fund Foundation (Stiftung Zukunftsfonds Schweiz) aims to support pensions funds in investing into venture capital and combine performance with innovation-driven economic growth and job creation – why and how should Swiss pension funds invest in Venture Capital?
- Swiss Pension System Reform. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has spotted a first pillar funding gap and market misalignments in the second pillar – why and how reform the Swiss pension fund system?
