LP Summit sessions

How are global LPs assessing Asia’s potential?

As macroeconomic volatility, rising interest rates, and geopolitical fragmentation reshape global capital flows, LPs are recalibrating their strategies. In Asia, this has triggered a pivot toward buyouts and structured equity, and selective allocations to diverse markets. Will the next cycle be defined by disciplined deployment, strategic concentration, and a sharper focus on liquidity and control? Will LPs emphasise diversification, risk management, and partnerships with experienced local GPs?

Can Asia’s secondaries market deliver on investor expectations?

As Asia’s private markets continue to mature, the secondaries landscape is gaining increased attention from investors seeking liquidity. This panel will explore whether the region’s GP-led and LP-led market has developed sufficient depth, transparency, and deal flow to meet growing investor demand. Industry leaders will discuss the challenges, opportunities, and innovations shaping Asia’s secondaries ecosystem.

Can LPs ignore China despite macro headwinds?

More Chinese GPs are returning to the market for fundraising this year, but not all such efforts will bear fruit amid LPs’ concerns over a slowing domestic economy, persistent geopolitical & tariff risks, and exit challenges. Following a year in which US dollar fundraising and investment activity dropped to a decade low, the DeepSeek moment seems to have reignited LP interest in the Chinese market. Are global LPs coming back to the Chinese market for new capital deployment? What does it take for foreign LPs to work with GPs investing under a China mandate these days?

Private wealth is having its moment in the sun

Traditional LPs, such as pension funds and endowments, have tightened their allocations in response to market volatility, prompting GPs to look beyond institutional capital. Even as most of the money is still coming from institutional investors, Asia’s swelling ranks of wealth have emerged as a powerful funding base for global PE managers. From the rise of bespoke investment structures to the role of family offices and private banks as key intermediaries, the panel will delve into how PE firms are adapting their strategies, what retail investors are seeking in return, and what this means for the future dynamics of capital formation in the region.
