Active Debates 2026
Join us for a lively, interactive debate on one of the biggest questions in investing today: Public Equity vs Private Equity
The equity landscape is shifting: but which market is better placed to create wealth over the next decade?
More companies are choosing to stay private for longer, capturing significant growth before they ever reach the stock market. At the same time, allocators are directing more capital towards private markets. So what does that mean for public equities? What advantages do public markets still offer that private markets cannot replicate?
Take your seat at the debate and help decide. Choose from the six dates and locations to hear our public and private equity teams go head-to-head, challenging assumptions, testing convictions and competing for your vote.
Join us in celebration of the argument: as you will find in Edinburgh, there is no house view. Only conviction, curiosity and (mostly) respectful disagreement.
The event venues for our debates are listed below. If you have any questions or require specific details on any of our venues, please get in touch.
