From the Sidelines: Private wealth conversations that defined 2025

A look back at the private wealth conversations that defined 2025 — straight from the sidelines of Markets Group’s global events.

2025 marked a pivotal moment for private wealth. As markets stabilized at higher rates and client expectations evolved, advisors, CIOs, and wealth leaders shifted focus toward durability, personalization, and long-term portfolio construction.

Straight from the sidelines of our 2025 Private Wealth forums, leaders unpacked how they are navigating intergenerational wealth transfer, integrating private markets with greater precision, and responding to a more sophisticated client base demanding transparency, access, and outcomes. Conversations moved beyond performance alone — centering on leadership, trust, and how advisory models are adapting in a rapidly changing landscape.

Together, these insights offer a clear view of how private wealth strategies evolved in 2025 — and where advisors and allocators are positioning portfolios and relationships heading into 2026.
