The Alternatives Symposium, set in RACV Cape Schanck Resort and offering 12+ CPD points, this exclusive residential event brings together portfolio leaders and alternative specialists to explore strategies fit for a new era of investing.

Why attend?

  • Discover what’s shaping the future of investing.

    Dive deep into the dynamic world of alternatives, from private markets to liquid strategies, natural capital to real assets, and venture capital. You’ll leave with perspectives that position you ahead of the curve, and ahead of client expectations.

  • Build stronger portfolios with stronger conviction.

    Master the art of selecting and integrating 12 distinct alternative strategies. Go beyond product to process, and elevate client outcomes with smarter, more resilient asset allocation.

  • Elevate your client conversations.

    Strengthen your language and confidence in discussing alternatives with clients. Learn directly from adviser-led panels and collaborative peer discussions, because experience shared is insight gained.

  • Connect, collaborate, and unwind.

    Join us at The Inside Network’s Golf afternoon, where some of the most valuable insights happen not in a breakout room, but on the green. A four-player Ambrose tournament with prizes for all skill levels, it’s the perfect place to build relationships that fuel better ideas, better referrals, and better results.

Up to 12+ CPD points available

Accommodation

RACV Cape Schanck Resort

Enjoy the five-star coastal surrounds of RACV Cape Schanck Resort, a premier retreat on the southern tip of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, located on Trent Jones Drive, Cape Schanck.

Met with a dramatic coastal landscape, the resort rises above the shoreline, overlooking Bass Strait with sweeping views that take in rugged clifftops, rolling fairways and expansive skies. It is a distinctly Victorian coastal setting - refined yet raw, unspoilt and refreshingly removed from the pace of the city, while still comfortably accessible from Melbourne.

Located on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, RACV Cape Schanck provides a relaxed, coastal backdrop for the event.

After Tuesday’s program wraps up at lunchtime, delegates are invited to stay on for a 9-hole Ambrose. This social, beginner-friendly format is designed for all skill levels, with a team-based structure that keeps the pace comfortable, engaging and enjoyable.

It is an ideal way to unwind after a high-impact agenda, deepen new connections and reflect on the day in a low-pressure setting.

Whether you are a regular golfer or a complete beginner, the Ambrose format ensures everyone can get involved. Bring your best game, as we will be awarding the winning team over drinks and food at the end of the round.
