Established 2018 · 80+ Markets
A private, closed-door community of family offices, venture capital and private equity funds, entrepreneurs, business chiefs and senior government representatives — built for collaboration on the capital, ideas and policy shaping the next decade of global wealth.
Representation drawn from
The Community
The Global Assets and Wealth (GAW) initiative was launched in 2018 to extend a tradition of senior-only convenings into the next decade. Where its predecessor brought together over 1,000 organisations, GAW is purpose-built for the intersection of institutional capital, private wealth and entrepreneurial growth.
Access is limited to senior executives of corporations with revenues exceeding USD 100 million, governments and intergovernmental organisations, accredited investors and high net worth individuals — alongside a curated representation of fast-growing entrepreneurs nominated by existing members.
No media, no broadcast. Conversations the room can actually have.
Every seat is held by a decision-maker. No delegations, no observers.
Six continents, every major asset class. No house view.
What we convene around
Each pillar is structured around a specific decision the community needs to make together — where to invest, what to build, how to preserve wealth across generations, and how to live well as that wealth grows.
Annual closed-door gatherings of 150+ decision-makers across 100+ businesses, governments and IGOs. Lounge-room sessions. No PowerPoint. Seven-minute insights and an open Q&A.
Curated presentations from fast-growing companies, emerging funds, disruptive technologies and government projects — sized for direct allocation and deeper one-on-one engagement during breaks.
Working groups led by member-partners on real estate, digital assets, blockchain, private wealth, family offices, philanthropy and more — feeding programming into each Forum.
A subgroup designed around how members consume — luxury goods, automobiles, private banking, wealth management — building the largest global community of affluent consumers as buyers, sellers and influencers.
