Real Assets Luncheon

You are warmly invited to an informal Real Assets Luncheon on May 6, held on the sidelines of the Milken Global Conference in Los Angeles.
The session will be hosted by Chris Creed, Managing Partner and Co-Head of Credit & Capital Solutions at Galvanize, together with Mikkel Bülow-Lehnsby, Co-Founder & Executive Chairman of Urban Partners.
The luncheon will bring together a select group of leading investors at the forefront of key changes and trends in real assets for a candid discussion on the evolving opportunity set across real assets – spanning climate-aligned credit, transition-driven strategies, and the next generation of value creation in the urban space.
This will be a chance to share perspectives, compare approaches, and engage directly with peers shaping capital allocation in the sector.
We hope you will join us for thoughtful conversation and a productive exchange among fellow investors.
