Can media intellectual property provide a genuine source of diversification for private-market portfolios? A private investor evening hosted by IPR.VC, with Forbes Luxembourg as exclusive media partner, will examine the opportunities -and the risks- behind this emerging investment proposition.
On Tuesday 22 September 2026, at Ciné Utopia in Luxembourg, IPR.VC will bring together professional investors, family offices, media executives, producers and industry specialists for an evening dedicated to the evolving economics of media and entertainment.
The programme will explore how films, television productions and new forms of digital content are financed, how intellectual-property rights generate revenues across different markets and platforms, and whether professionally structured media investments can play a diversifying role within private-market portfolios.
Rather than assuming that media is inherently “uncorrelated”, the discussions will examine the proposition critically: what investors are actually exposed to, how returns are generated, which risks can be contractually managed, and which remain dependent on audiences, distribution, technology and changing consumer behaviour.
From film and television to the creator economy
The evening will begin with presentations from IPR.VC on media intellectual property as an investment theme and on the structural changes reshaping the global content economy.
A panel discussion will then bring together investment professionals and Luxembourg-based producers to consider how platforms including YouTube, TikTok and podcasts, as well as live entertainment and creator-led businesses, are changing the way content is developed, financed, distributed and monetised.
The discussion will address several questions facing investors and media entrepreneurs:
- What makes a media asset investable?
- How can risk be diversified across productions, rights and revenue sources?
- Who ultimately captures the value: the creator, the producer, the platform or the owner of the intellectual property?
- Can creator-led businesses develop durable value beyond the personal visibility of their founders?
- How should investors assess liquidity, valuation and platform dependency?
In conversation with Forbes Luxembourg
As Exclusive Media Partner of the event, Forbes Luxembourg will contribute an independent business and investment perspective to the discussion.
Pierre-Yves Lanneau Saint Léger, CEO of Forbes Luxembourg, will interview Timo Argillander, Executive Chairman and co-founder of IPR.VC, on the future of media investing.
Their conversation will examine what investors actually own when they invest in media IP, the financial structures behind film and television production, the meaning—and limitations—of claims of low correlation, and the potential evolution of media investment over the coming years.
The investment case behind BlackBerry
The programme will conclude with a presentation of the financing and investment case behind BlackBerry, the 2023 film directed by Matt Johnson, followed by a private screening.

The case study will provide an opportunity to consider the difference between a film’s visible commercial performance and the broader economics of production financing, licensing, distribution and intellectual-property rights.
Following the screening, guests will be invited to continue the conversation over drinks and networking.
