Now in its second year, the Australian Wealth Management Summit is set to return on Friday, 22 August 2025, at the Sofitel Wentworth, Sydney, promising a day of timely insights and high-impact discussion for Australia’s investment and advice community.
The summit will once again convene Australia’s leading investment thinkers, asset managers, financial advisers, and family office executives for a day of in-depth analysis and strategic dialogue.
With global capital markets grappling with the possibility of a resurgence in inflation, a return to elevated interest rates, and a structural reordering of growth drivers, the 2025 summit will examine the increasing prominence of alternative investments - from private equity and credit to real assets and digital instruments - as investors seek greater resilience and more diversified return streams.
In a market where traditional 60/40 portfolios are being re-evaluated, alternatives are no longer peripheral. They are playing a central role in managing volatility, enhancing yield, and hedging against systemic risk - making them a critical focus for institutions and advisers alike.
Delivered by Momentum Media’s wealth titles – comprising InvestorDaily, ifa, SMSF Adviser, Money Management, and Super Review – the summit is free-to-attend for financial advisers – click here to secure your tickets.
The program will feature keynote sessions and panel discussions covering:
-

-
How real estate – residential, commercial, industrial, and REITs – can support diversification
-
Deploying private equity and private credit to manage dislocation and identify opportunity
-
