Life Sciences as a Long-Cycle Asset: A Family Office Perspective
Life sciences is frequently misunderstood by family offices as either too technical to assess or primarily philanthropic.
In practice, it is a long-cycle, stage-based asset class that mirrors the capital philosophy of the resources sector. This 2 hour session is designed to equip Principals, CIOs, and Investment Leads with clear decision frameworks to translate clinical and regulatory milestones into the familiar language of staged deployment, optionality, and risk mitigation.
The session will feature:
- Strategic Framing: Translating life sciences into the "capital language" of WA investors (milestones, staging, and downside protection).
- Expert Panel & Fireside Chat: Insights from Family Office representatives and industry leaders on pacing capital and separating impact from return.
- Risk & Governance Reality Check: A deep dive into where non-specialist capital underperforms and how disciplined capital builds conviction.
The session will take place in the Wattle Room and conclude with a networking opportunity to discuss portfolio fit and governance with peers. Following this event, AusBiotech will also be hosting the Perth BioCheers at The Westin; we would be delighted to have you join us. Please be advised that this event will require a separate registration.
Please note: This event is designed for investors and family office principals. It is not a forum for founders seeking capital or technical/scientific deep dives.
