24-25 February
RACV Healesville
122 Healesville-Kinglake Road

The 2024 Alternatives Symposium in the Hunter Valley brought together leading advisers to explore the evolving landscape of alternative investments and their role in building resilient client portfolios. The event opened with a focus on how alternatives can provide diversification, reduce volatility, and enhance returns, emphasising the importance of clearly defining their role in client portfolios. Key sessions also tackled macroeconomic challenges, such as persistent inflation and rising interest rates, exploring how these trends create both opportunities and risks for alternative investments.
