Please join us for the 2026 Private Capital Research Symposium in Abu Dhabi, taking place the morning of Tuesday, December 8th.

This symposium’s goal is to bring together leading private markets researchers with a practitioner audience, fostering dialogue between rigorous academic research and real-world investment practice. Its core mission is to develop a better understanding of how private capital investments affect both financial returns and broader economic outcomes.

The Symposium is co-hosted by the Institute for Private Capital, a multi-university research center supporting academic research in private markets; Mubadala, sovereign investor and global investment company; and the Stern School of Business at NYU Abu Dhabi.
