With alternative investments becoming increasingly popular worldwide due to the continuous projected growth, new opportunities arise for the industry. Factors such as new technologies and ESG are shaping the evolution of existing alternative asset classes and fostering the development of new types of investments. The rise of inflation, as an aftermath of the Covid-19 Pandemic, has been driving the demand for investments in alternative asset classes that can provide a hedge against inflation. With our EY AIF Club, our aim is to explore the drivers of growth and change in the industry, facilitate dialogue and exchanges within our market and develop leading points of view.
Patricia Gudiño Jonas, AIF Club chairwoman
- Provide insight into developments in the alternative sectors of the financial industry: private equity, real estate, infrastructure, hedge funds and private debt
- Provide education and trainings for the industry practitioners to better serve and understand the industry
- Provide alternative industry practitioners with a platform to meet, exchange views and network
We hope the AIF Club will give asset managers, investors and service providers, a platform for establishing new contacts, learn about market trends and stimulate ideas and opportunities.v
