Canadian Alternative Investment Forum
Founded in 2011, CAIF is Canada’s premier alternative investment conference. Known for creating an agenda that offers diverse content and uncorrelated niche investment themes, CAIF’s selected speakers always deliver current and relevant information. Our delegates include active allocators, investment managers and service providers.


The 14th Canadian Alternative Investment Forum took place in Toronto on April 3, 2025.
It was a successful day of networking and education at one of Canada’s most popular alternative investment conferences with fellow industry professionals. Alternative investment-themed topics this year included real estate, secondaries, crossover funds, private market portfolio construction, evergreen structures, private credit, impact investing, and AI/VC. The opening keynote was delivered by Forum Asset Management’s CEO Richard Abboud, and the second annual Richter Debate welcomed views on both passive and active investing.
CAIF 2025 conference sessions were videotaped and will be made available for viewing on our website later this month.
