About this Event

Alternatives Are The Main Event.


750+ Investors | 2 Days | The New Allocator Playbook

The investment landscape has shifted. While headlines focus on a "perfect storm" of oil prices, inflation, and the recent Budget announcement, investors are starting to think about how they should position themselves in the investment landscape going forward. At the same time, a new supercycle is here: AI is transforming Private Equity, Private Credit is surging, and ASX small caps are trading at a 40–50% discount.
The "smart money" is moving. Are you?




Why You Need to Be in the Room:
This isn't just a conference; it’s a live marketplace for active capital.
  • Insights from Operators: Hear from fund managers and allocators currently deploying capital. Learn what they are buying, what they are avoiding, and where the next 12 months of alpha are hidden.
  • Curated Deal Flow: Access companies and funds specifically positioned to benefit from the $3.5 trillion intergenerational wealth transfer.
  • The Hallway Edge: The real value of Capital 2026 is who is sitting next to you. Connect with Family Office principals and sophisticated investors who have spent decades navigating cycles exactly like this one.

Stop watching the market move. Be in the room where the decisions are made.

THE MARKET SHIFT
Why We Are Gathering

(A Note from Steve Torso)

The data is unequivocal. 42% of Family Offices are now actively allocating to alternatives. The "alternative" bucket is no longer a satellite position; it is the engine of the modern portfolio.

We are witnessing 4 simultaneous structural shifts in the Australian market:

  1. The Private Credit Boom: With AUM already at $242B, private credit has replaced traditional bank lending as the primary source of yield.
  2. The Small Cap Rotation: ASX Small Caps outperformed the broader market by 2.5x in 2025. The valuation gap is closing, creating a generational buying opportunity for active investors.
  3. The Rise of Alternatives: Family Offices, Institutional and HNW investors are allocating record capital to private markets, viewing alternatives as the core of modern portfolio construction, not just an appendage.
  4. The Private Equity & SME Transition: The "Great Wealth Transfer" is no longer a forecast; it is here. With $3.5 trillion in business assets changing hands, 35% of investors are now explicitly targeting established, cash-flow positive Private Equity opportunities to anchor their portfolios.


Capital 2026 is designed for one purpose: to cut through the noise and connect you with the specific opportunities (across credit, property, and equities) that match this new mandate.




THE THEMES

We have curated 6 themes based on our 2026 Investor Sentiment Survey. This is high-signal deal flow.

  1. Private Credit & Non-Bank Lending - Access the funds delivering 8–18% Yield + Growth. Meet the private credit managers filling the void left by major banks and securing returns backed by real assets.
  2. ASX-Listed Small Caps - Discover the micro and small-cap companies (20M - 500M market cap) that are currently undervalued and poised for growth. This is your "value" track.
  3. Property & Tangible Assets - From industrial logistics, commercial property, to hospitality, explore the tangible asset classes where family offices are parking wealth for generational preservation and income.
  4. Private Equity & Venture Capital - Explore opportunities across the full lifecycle of private companies - from seed stage innovation to late-stage buyouts and succession planning. Focus on sectors driving outsized returns, including Tech, Health, and Agribusiness.
  5. Family Office Professionalisation - Navigating the $124 trillion intergenerational wealth transfer. Insights on How Family Offices are becoming active across their portfolio, and where they are focusing their investment capital and networks.
