CAIA DAY IBERIA - Alternative Investments Conference 2026
CAIA Iberia is pleased to announce the fourth edition of CAIA Day Iberia, bringing together leading investment professionals, asset managers, institutional investors and industry experts for a morning of insights, debate and networking.
This year’s programme will explore how investors are navigating an increasingly complex investment landscape — from new approaches to diversification and the evolution of private markets to infrastructure, credit and portfolio construction.
Through thought-provoking presentations and conversations with industry leaders, we will examine how investors are rethinking traditional approaches, accessing new sources of return and building more resilient portfolios for the future.
Join us for the fourth edition of CAIA Day Iberia and be part of the conversation shaping the future of alternative investments.
