About Private Markets Group Ltd

---

Private Markets Group Ltd (PMG) is a UK-based specialized events and media firm serving family offices, institutional investors, and wealth advisors across Europe through private educational summits, global digital media, educational webinars, and our real estate innovation & technology magazine.

Founded on decades of combined industry expertise, we address a critical challenge in modern capital markets: high-quality UK and European growth companies are remaining private for extended periods, creating unique investment opportunities at the private-public crossover.

Our educational 2026 summits, delivered in strategic partnership with the Oxford Future of Real Estate Initiative, provide a platform for rigorous dialogue on private equity, private credit, sustainable real estate innovation, infrastructure investment, fundraising, and philanthropy.

Why We Built PMG Differently

We recognize the pervasive dissatisfaction with industry events marked by vendor-driven agendas and low peer concentration. Private Markets Group Ltd was established to provide an authentic, peer-led forum where capital allocators—not service providers—drive the conversation.

The Problem We Solve

Traditional private markets events suffer from:

• High ratio of service providers to actual investors
• Sales-driven agendas disguised as education
• Limited access to genuine peer dialogue
• Transactional networking lacking strategic depth
• Vendor booths and product pitches dominating content

Our Solution

PMG events maintain a strict 50%+ investor attendee ratio, ensuring that every conversation is peer-level, investment-focused, and free from commercial pressures.

This is not a marketplace for funds—it's a marketplace of ideas.

Our commitment to quality is enforced by the 50/30/20 Standard, which strictly governs the composition of every summit:

50% Capital Allocators

This core segment guarantees high concentration of investment peers:

• Family office principals and CIOs
• Endowment and foundation investment directors
• Pension fund investment professionals
• Sovereign wealth funds and DFIs
• Institutional investors with active mandates

These professionals attend via complimentary passes to maintain the investor-first balance.

30% Expert Contributors

Paid tickets are available to carefully vetted professionals whose function is strictly knowledge exchange and educational insights:

• Select fund managers with proven track records
• UHNW legal advisors specializing in private markets
• Tax specialists serving family office clients
• Independent financial advisors (IFAs)
• Private banks with institutional expertise

NO product solicitation. NO sales presentations. Educational merit-based selection only.

This is possible thanks to our key partner Oxford Future of Real Estate Initiative and other leading institutions, ensuring all content is grounded in:

• Independent, cutting-edge research

• Evidence-based analysis
• Forward-looking perspectives

Academic researchers attend to share latest research findings with practitioners.

We maintain a strict policy of zero sales presentations.
