Commemorating 110 years of service to our members
The Private Equity Exclusive is an event produced by
The Pension Bridge. It is the only Private Equity Conference in the Institutional Investment Community
where you can find the top investment decision-makers
in one room. The largest Public Funds from around the
country along with the most influential Consultants
specializing in Private Equity will join us for this exclusive event.
Learn from the experts about the most important Issues, Trends, Outlooks and Strategies
that will shape the Private Equity Industry for today and the future:
- Effects of the Recession on Private Equity
- The Aftershocks of the ongoing Credit Crunch and Liquidity Crisis
- LP Capital Calls, Allocation Shifts and the Secondary Market
takes center stage
- Distressed Opportunities in Credit, Debt and Real Estate
- Will the Buyout Market remain quiet and when will the Deals return?
- Difficult Fundraising Environment - what it
means for GPs and how it affects LPs
- Where will the best returns be found and what
are the expectations from each sub-sector?
- Why Emerging Managers are receiving
more attention
- Is the Future now for CleanTech?
I
And plenty more important topics that need to be
addressed during these treacherous times that are unlike
any other in history!
-
The Private Equity Exclusive has two goals in mind. Our first goal is to provide the highest level of education with the top speaker faculty. Our second goal is also to help build relationships between the Consultants, Limited Partners and General Partners.
Just how different and unique is The Private Equity Exclusive? At one of the most well known conferences in the Private
Equity Industry last year, there was approximately a 20: 1 Ratio of GP to LP/Consultant. At this event, we will have better
than a 1:l Ratio of G P Firm to LPIConsultant. We will cut off the attendance and have a minimum of 55 - 65 Pension
Funds or Consultants and limit the GP firms to 50. This will be the ONLY Private Equity Conference of its kind where you
will NOT get lost among the crowd of markers.
There has never been an event that has provided you with a greater opportunity to develop relationships that will lead to
future business and assist in the fundraising process. This experience will include:
A High Level of Education from the top minds in the Industry
Meeting the most Influential Consultants
Meeting some of the Largest Pension Funds
A Small Group in a Controlled Setting
An Intimate Atmosphere to help make Connections
We have provided the best possible networking atmosphere to discuss the different issues, trends and outlooks with Private
Equity. We have secured a luxury suite at the Chicago White Sox game (taking place at the conclusion of the conference),
which will provide an additional networking opportunity in stress-free environment.
