Watch all 2026 Global Conference session replays: https://milkeninstitute.org/events/global-conference-2026/program As populations live longer and the future of public pension systems grows more uncertain across global markets, responsibility for financial security is increasingly shifting to individuals, families, and the institutions that support them. At the same time, a historic intergenerational wealth transfer is reshaping how capital is preserved, invested, and passed on. Private wealth is emerging as a key frontier for private markets, as advisors increasingly incorporate alternative investments to meet the evolving needs of high-net-worth investors while shaping broader portfolio strategies. Institutions across wealth management, asset management, and insurance are integrating private markets, customized solutions, and evolving income strategies into client portfolios. Advances in AI and data are also transforming how advice is delivered, enabling more personalized and scalable planning.
