Forget 25% Returns: The "Boring" Investment Beating Venture Capital & AI

Is a multi-trillion dollar economic crisis hiding in plain sight? In this exclusive panel discussion, top fund managers and investment directors sit down to reveal the massive structural shifts changing private equity, venture capital, and asset management. From the "Silver Tsunami" forcing 600,000 Australian small businesses to transition ownership, to a brand-new "Dissolving Listed Trust" (DT) format allowing everyday investors to get early access to SpaceX and OpenAI pre-IPOs, this conversation is a masterclass for startup founders, high-net-worth investors, and business leaders. Learn why traditional 25% IRR venture capital structures are being challenged by Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA), and how guaranteed vendor finance backed by $100B in reinsurance is allowing the next generation to buy multi-million dollar companies with almost zero down payment.
