WESTFIELD, N.J., Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Context Summits announces it will host a unique educational conference about liquid alternatives for Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs). The Context Summits Liquid Alternatives 2014 will be held October 14-16, 2014 at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, and will allow RIAs and Institutional Investors who attend to sit down with leading alternative mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) managers for prescheduled one-on-one meetings—a rare opportunity for RIAs to complete firsthand due diligence on liquid-alternative strategies.
"Context Summits is proud to pioneer a new type of forum for RIAs, Investors and Fund Managers in the alternative asset management space," said Mark Salameh, Chief Executive Officer of Context Summits. "Through helpful face-to-face meetings with respected Portfolio Managers and insightful content from speakers who are experts on liquid alternatives and other alternative investment products, RIAs can gain the education and perspective they need to harness liquid alternatives for their clients. Simultaneously, Fund Managers can broaden their relationships with RIAs, explore best practices for distribution and better understand the process of establishing alternative mutual funds and exchange-traded funds."
In addition to the 30-minute meetings between RIAs and Portfolio Managers, the Context Summits Liquid Alternatives 2014 will feature sessions and panel discussions focusing on a variety of topics, including how to determine the correct allocation of liquid-alternative investments within a client portfolio, the role of liquid alternatives in endowment investing, the regulatory outlook for liquid alternatives and the top liquid-alternative due diligence questions that RIAs need to ask and managers need to be prepared to answer.
The conference's keynote speakers include:
- W. Scott Burns, Global Director of Manager Research at Morningstar, who is responsible for Morningstar's coverage of managed products.
- Brett Condron, Managing Director and Global Head of the Individual Investor Solutions Group at Blackstone Alternative Asset Management ("BAAM"), where he oversees strategic product and business strategy for regulated solutions serving investors, family offices and financial intermediaries.
"Liquid alternatives are one of the fastest-growing areas in the alternative investment universe, so RIAs, Investors and Portfolio Managers need to fully understand these investment vehicles and the trends that will affect them going forward," said Mr. Condron. "By offering timely and educational content as well as networking opportunities, the Context Summits Liquid Alternatives 2014 event will serve as a platform to help these constituencies both gain expertise and build productive and meaningful relationships to effectively navigate the liquid-alternatives landscape."
