PwC's Seema Chandaria and David Selden look at the emergence of the family office investment funds, driven by evolving needs and ever more sophisticated structures.
Jack Inglis, CEO at AIMA, looks back at the past year in alternatives, the challenges the sector faced, particularly regulation, the role of private credit during the year, and what 2023 has in store, with Jack "cautiously optimistic."
Charlie Harris of Lutyens Advisory continues the family office theme, looking at their greater institutionalisation and changing requirements.
Bitwise's Head of ODD Vin Molino changes tack with a breakdown of crypto in 2022, a hairy year for this sector, as he picks out some of the ODD lessons the sector needs to take on board.
We then round off with the indefatigable Matt Raver from RQC Group, looking back at regulatory developments over the past year.
