About this session
The 60/40 portfolio is under structural pressure - and the $145 trillion shift toward private markets is no longer a trend, it is a reconfiguration. A new generation of clients is demanding access - the platforms and institutions built to serve private wealth are both rebuilding their models at the same time. This session brings together two leaders who have shaped the industry from different vantage points to ask the defining question: when the clients, the assets, and the access points are all changing simultaneously, how does wealth management rebuild itself - and what does the private bank of 2030 actually look like?
