Capital 2026

21–22 May 2026 | Hilton Hotel, Sydney

500+ Investors | $242B+ Private Credit Market | The ASX Small Cap Focus

The era of the passive 60/40 portfolio is over. With banks retreating and small caps undervalued, smart capital is moving. Capital 2026 is the premier marketplace where Family Offices, Fund Managers, and HNW investors converge to unlock yield, value, and innovation.

(A Note from Steve Torso)

The data is unequivocal. 42% of Family Offices are now actively allocating to alternatives. The "alternative" bucket is no longer a satellite position; it is the engine of the modern portfolio.

We are witnessing 4 simultaneous structural shifts in the Australian market:

1. The Private Credit Boom: With AUM already at $242B, private credit has replaced traditional bank lending as the primary source of yield.
2. The Small Cap Rotation: ASX Small Caps outperformed the broader market by 2.5x in 2025. The valuation gap is closing, creating a generational buying opportunity for active investors.
3. The Rise of Alternatives: Family Offices, Institutional and HNW investors are allocating record capital to private markets, viewing alternatives as the core of modern portfolio construction, not just an appendage.
4. The Private Equity & SME Transition: The "Great Wealth Transfer" is no longer a forecast; it is here. With $3.5 trillion in business assets changing hands, 35% of investors are now explicitly targeting established, cash-flow positive Private Equity opportunities to anchor their portfolios.

Capital 2026 is designed for one purpose: to cut through the noise and connect you with the specific opportunities—across credit, property, and equities—that match this new mandate.

We have curated 6 themes based on our 2026 Investor Sentiment Survey. This is high-signal deal flow.

1. Private Credit & Non-Bank Lending - Access the funds delivering 8–18% Yield + Growth. Meet the private credit managers filling the void left by major banks and securing returns backed by real assets.
2. ASX-Listed Small Caps - Discover the micro and small-cap companies (20M - 500M market cap) that are currently undervalued and poised for growth. This is your "value" track.
3. Property & Tangible Assets - From industrial logistics, commercial property, to hospitality, explore the tangible asset classes where family offices are parking wealth for generational preservation and income.
4. Private Equity & Venture Capital - Explore opportunities across the full lifecycle of private companies - from seed stage innovation to late-stage buyouts and succession planning. Focus on sectors driving outsized returns, including Tech, Health, and Agribusiness.
5. Family Office Professionalisation - Navigating the $124 trillion intergenerational wealth transfer. Insights on How Family Offices are becoming active across their portfolio, and where they are focusing their investment capital and networks.
