JV Events Group Liquid Alternative Strategies Summit 2018
New investment regime: rapidly changing markets and the role of liquid alternative strategies.
A new President, policies in transition, rising rates and unexpected changes to the world economic order – how do investors position their portfolios? What new investment opportunities may arise and what can be done to mitigate ever-changing risks? With equities fully valued and recent draw-downs in conventional bonds, traditional investments may be facing growing pressures. Investment professionals will need to move beyond simplistic solutions in portfolio construction.
In the new investment regime, Liquid Alternatives may offer potential tools for risk management, additional sources of return and diversification. Our conference provided an in-depth review of the broad spectrum of Liquid Alternative strategies and their potential role in an evolving investment environment.
Our program centered around two key tasks for allocators using or considering Liquid Alternatives:
- Picking the right strategies
- Picking the right managers
Investment professionals were part of a highly engaging and substantive day of research and due diligence. The program provided a unique opportunity to hear from a broad range of leading Liquid Alts portfolio managers regarding:
- How their strategies work
- Risk/reward characteristics
- Cost-effectiveness
- Tax efficiency
- How their funds best fit into a broader portfolio

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2018-17
Washington D.C., Feb. 13, 2018 —
The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the opening of registration for its compliance outreach program’s national seminar for investment companies and investment advisers. The event is intended to help Chief Compliance Officers (CCOs) and other senior personnel at investment companies and investment advisory firms to enhance their compliance programs for the protection of investors.
The SEC’s Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE), Division of Investment Management (IM), and the Asset Management Unit (AMU) of the Division of Enforcement jointly sponsor the compliance outreach program. The national seminar will be held on April 12 at the SEC’s Washington, D.C., headquarters from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET. In-person attendance is limited to 500; a live webcast will be available at www.sec.gov.
The agenda for the national seminar includes discussion of OCIE, IM, and AMU program priorities in 2018, issues related to fees and expenses, portfolio management trends, regulatory hot topics, cybersecurity, compliance, and rulemaking.
“Regularly hosting this seminar is one of the key ways we work to improve compliance in the industry,” said OCIE Director Peter Driscoll. “The U.S. capital markets are among the most vibrant, fair, and effective in the world in large part because of the important work that compliance professionals do on a daily basis to ensure risks are addressed, securities laws are followed, and investors are protected. This event allows us to share our thoughts and observations with these professionals and to listen to the ideas and concerns they want to share with us.”
“Chief Compliance Officers and their teams play an important role in protecting American investors, a goal that the SEC staff shares. This outreach event is a valuable opportunity to engage and build relationships with these knowledgeable professionals so that we may benefit from their insights as we consider policies affecting investment companies and investment advisers,” said Division of Investment Management Director Dalia Blass.
Investment adviser and investment company senior officers may register online to attend the event in-person. If registrations exceed capacity, investment company and investment adviser CCOs will be given priority on a first-registered basis. Registration instructions also will be sent to SEC-registered advisers using the e-mail account on the adviser’s most recent Form ADV filing. The event will also be made available via live and archived audio webcast. For more information, contact: [email protected] .
