Alternative investment began to gain traction in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. As a lot of money was released on the market, funds were competitively attracted to alternative assets and led to good performance, so that type of investment was continuously repeated. Hence, alternative investment is now a "mainstream", no longer a "substitute" of investment.

Alternative investment, however, has been put to the test in earnest, as the investment environment is deteriorating, such as slowing growth of the global economy. The good investment environment leads to the good performance regardless of investment skills, but the bad investment environment causes lots of constraints and limitation.

Under the recession when risk levels are rising, institutional investors, including the National Pension Service, concern more about asset management strategies such as the strategies for asset allocation and selection of investment goals. It is pointed out that a grand scheme is needed to improve the quality of manpower in the field of alternative investment and establish the investment ecosystem.

The current status and prospects of global alternative investment in the period of economic transition, and innovative alternative investment skill will be discussed. Accordingly, the conference is expected to become a platform to connect large investment institutions (LP) including domestic pension funds, banks, and insurance to overseas management companies (GPs) which are seeking to expand to Korean market.
