THE FUTURE OF FINANCE CONFERENCE : Will Private Markets Kill Them All?

We will hear from Ludovic Phalippou, Professor of Financial Economics, Head of Finance Accounting and Management Economics academic area at University of Oxford Said Business School, about the complexity of private markets. Home to a stockpile of mythologies, war-stories and fantasies, private markets are shrouded in complex jargon, hard to penetrate, controversial, and yet partying like it is 1999.

Public markets are so last century – Can they actually die altogether? Or will a hybrid world emerge?
