Introduction
The 2026 International Conference on Capital Dynamics (CDSF26) arrives at a transformative juncture for the global financial ecosystem. As we navigate a landscape defined by fragmented markets, persistent inflationary pressures, and the rapid "retailization" of private assets, the traditional frameworks of investment are being radically redefined.
CDSF26 serves as the definitive global forum for researchers, fund managers, and policy architects to analyze the shifting forces of capital and the future of wealth creation. Our mission is to explore the "Capital Dynamics" of the mid-2020s—moving beyond static portfolio theory toward a model of active, resilient, and technologically-integrated investment.
The conference focuses on the convergence of three critical pillars:
- Evolution of Public Equities: Navigating an AI-driven trade environment.
- Private Fund Expansion: Bridging the gap into the retail mainstream.
- Geopolitical Macro-dynamics: Analyzing the overarching influence on global liquidity.
Join us as we bridge the gap between quantitative rigor and strategic foresight to lead in an increasingly complex and fluid financial world.
