• David Anderson, Executive Vice President, APAC, Vistra Fund Solutions
• Milena Nikolova, Partner, Antares Ventures
• Surbhi Khandelwal, Investment Director, Triple P Capital
• Davian Sim, Partner, August Global Partners
• Andi Haswidi, Head of Data Research, DealStreetAsia [Moderator]

This session will take the Vistra Friction Index framework into a forward-looking macro discussion, examining how current pressures across global capital markets could reshape private capital flows into and across APAC.

Among the themes to be explored:

• Whether APAC becomes more attractive as global investors diversify exposure away from traditional markets
• How macro instability adds new layers of friction around fundraising, FX risk and cross-border deployment
• Shifting assumptions around valuations, exits and fund structuring in a more constrained capital environment
• What a more selective LP landscape means for private capital allocation across the region
