As market conditions remain unpredictable and traditional asset classes face pressure from macroeconomic uncertainty, the Australian Wealth Management Summit returns in 2025 to examine the rising role of alternatives in shaping portfolio construction.

Held over one day, the summit will bring together senior investment professionals, asset consultants, economists, and advisers to explore how alternative investments – from private equity and real assets to private credit, infrastructure, and digital assets – are playing a more central role in institutional and wholesale strategies.

This year’s program focuses on how advisers and asset managers can position portfolios in a climate of elevated interest rates, sticky inflation, and subdued growth – conditions that are reshaping the traditional risk-return playbook. Sessions will also address China’s shift towards AI-led growth, capital flows into semiconductors and robotics, and the growing relevance of tokenised assets and digital currencies in diversified portfolios.

Developed in partnership with leading voices across the financial services sector, the summit delivers a full-day agenda of analysis, discussion, and insight, tailored for professionals navigating the changing face of global capital markets.
