Keynote: The Problem with Private Markets

Ballroom 2+3

2:05 pm - 2:45 pm

  • Misleading performance narratives: Why the absence of clear, binding reporting rules in private markets allows marketing-driven performance presentation, and how common metrics can systematically overstate economic returns.
  • Conflicts of interest at the GP level: How incentive structures, valuation discretion, and contract designs create conflicts that are not always benign.
  • From opacity to accountability: Why investors, regulators, and courts are increasingly challenging private market practices.

Speaker

Prof. Dr. Ludovic Phalippou Bio
Professor of Financial Economics @ Saïd Business School, University of Oxford
