What does a diversified portfolio look like in 2027?
For many Australian investors it's still property plus super. Meanwhile capital is moving into private credit, tokenised funds, sustainable infrastructure and tangible assets most people never consider.
Whether you are an established investor, business owner, professional adviser, family office representative or simply seeking to better understand the opportunities shaping tomorrow's investment landscape, this is an afternoon designed to challenge conventional thinking.
Featuring six distinguished speakers on the most significant emerging and established investment opportunities:
Property Investment
Property as an enduring wealth-generation strategy, and where the opportunities lie as market conditions change.
Speaker: Rasti Vaibhav – Founder | Get Rare Properties | Advice is the product not the property
Alternative Investments & Capital Markets
Opportunities beyond traditional equities and fixed interest, from alternative funds to private capital, and how sophisticated investors access them.
Speaker: Marc Sherwood | IPartners | Alternative Assets & Capital Markets
Tokenisation & Digital Assets
How tokenisation and digital ownership are reshaping traditional investment structures.
Speaker: Colin Furphy | Omnique | Tokenised Diversified Fund
Caroline Macdonald is the CEO of Black Tie Holdings and a recognised leader in digital assets, real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation, investment management and financial innovation. With extensive experience across capital markets, property investment and emerging financial technologies, Caroline is passionate about reshaping how global assets are accessed, managed and traded.
Through BT Asset Hub, she is driving the adoption of blockchain-powered financial infrastructure, connecting traditional investment markets with the digital economy. An advocate for regulatory progress, transparency and financial inclusion, Caroline actively contributes to industry discussions and policy development, championing Australia's position in the rapidly evolving global digital asset landscape
