Description:

Cerulli projects advisor-intermediated less than fully liquid alternative assets will nearly double in just five years. The firms that win will be the ones who crack distribution, not just product. This session unpacks where the $36 trillion affluent and mass-affluent opportunity is opening up, why HNW practices allocate 8% to alts while the average advisor sits at just 2.7%, and the exact roadmap advisors have handed managers: more liquidity, more transparency, and education that meets them where they are. 

From the rise of the interval fund and semi-liquid structures to model portfolios, DC plans, and the platform partnerships reshaping access, Cerulli will provide a channel-by-channel view of how alternatives are reaching the next wave of investors and what it takes to compete.

Wednesday, July 22nd
5:00 - 7:00 PM
