LTAFs under the microscope: Opportunity or complexity
Tuesday 17 November 2026 | 13:00 - 14:00 | Webinar
Long-Term Asset Funds (LTAFs) were introduced to broaden access to private markets through a regulated, long-term investment vehicle designed for UK investors. While interest in LTAFs is growing, many allocators are still assessing whether they offer meaningful advantages over traditional private market structures.
This webinar will examine LTAFs from an allocator’s perspective, focusing on how they function in practice across portfolio construction, liquidity management, governance and operational oversight. Speakers will explore where LTAFs may genuinely add value and where investors should proceed with caution drawing on real-world allocation considerations rather than marketing narratives.
The session is designed to support investment professionals navigating private market access, manager selection and long-term capital deployment within evolving regulatory and liquidity frameworks.
