The geopolitical landscape has changed fundamentally in recent years, and defense and security have moved to the centre of political and economic debate in Europe. For institutional investors, this raises new questions about where capital can be deployed, how defense fits within existing investment and ESG frameworks, and which risks need to be considered.
This event is organized by CAIA members, offering research-based perspectives on the current geopolitical environment and the key developments shaping European security. As well as a panel discussion with investment professionals from across private markets. Dive into where industry experts see investment opportunities in defense and resilience, how these strategies can be accessed through private markets, and the challenges institutional investors face. Postdoctoral Researcher Mikhail Polianskii will give a keynote presentation at 6:00 PM.
When: November 10, 2026 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
Where: Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, Adickesallee 32-34, Frankfurt am Main, 60322
