This November, Limassol is becoming the meeting point for the giants of the global investment world. The 11th International Funds Summit & EXPO 2025, taking place on 2–3 November at the Parklane Resort & Spa, will bring together leading voices in alternative investments, private markets, and financial innovation.
At the heart of this year’s agenda lies one of the most anticipated sessions:
“The European Alternatives Market – Investment Outlook 2026.”
The panel will feature Rishi Muktidoot, Director, Investment Strategy at BlackRock, Antony Anastasiadis, Managing Director at Hamilton Lane, and Marine Duverger, Director, Client Portfolio Management at Apollo Global Management — three experts who collectively represent over USD 4 trillion in managed assets and decades of leadership in the private markets space.
Setting the Tone for 2026
The “European Alternatives Market – Investment Outlook 2026” panel promises to be a highlight of this year’s Summit, offering a forward-looking conversation on what’s next for Europe’s alternative investment ecosystem.
The discussion will focus on:
- The key growth drivers of the European alternatives market;
- The performance and evolution of asset classes including Private Equity, Venture Capital, and Private Credit;
- And the changing investor sentiment as we move into 2026.
With the global economy in transition — navigating interest rate volatility, geopolitical shifts, and the ESG imperative — these insights will be especially valuable for fund managers, institutional investors, and decision-makers looking to stay ahead in an evolving marketplace.
Three Leaders, Three Perspectives
Rishi Muktidoot, Director, Investment Strategy, BlackRock
Bringing the perspective of the world’s largest asset manager, Muktidoot will analyse the macroeconomic and regulatory forces shaping investor behaviour across Europe’s private markets. Expect data-driven insights on liquidity, risk, and long-term allocation trends — and a look at how “alternative” is fast becoming mainstream.
Antony Anastasiadis, Managing Director, Hamilton Lane
With Hamilton Lane at the forefront of global private market investing, Anastasiadis will explore how secondary transactions and portfolio diversification strategies are redefining value creation in today’s markets. His perspective bridges global capital flows and local opportunities, offering a grounded yet forward-looking view on how institutional investors are repositioning for resilience.
Marine Duverger, Director, Client Portfolio Management, Apollo Global Management
Representing one of the world’s leading firms in private credit, Duverger will share insights into the sector’s expansion across Europe and its growing role as a strategic allocation for both institutional and private wealth clients. From yield generation to risk management, her contribution will highlight how private credit is powering the next stage of alternatives growth.
