CFA Society Atlanta: Are Alternatives Truly Non-Correlated? A PanelDiscussion
 
Most managers of alternatives claim that their strategies are non-correlated to the rest of the market. During times of
market volatility, investors see if this non-correlation holds true. Come join a panel discussion about this topic and the ongoing evolution in the alternatives space.
 
This program will focus on the strengths and weaknesses of various alternative investment strategies and product structures. We will also explore recent trends and future product development. Our panel will include asset managers, a gatekeeper and an allocator prepared to cover topics such as the following (and more):
 
• How alternative investment strategies from private equity,
private debt or hedge fund managers fit in a portfolio and what the future
outlook is for these various strategies
• Growth and innovation in liquid alternatives, including
alternative beta strategies
• Evaluation process for retail vs. institutional investors
• How fund structure impacts strategy
 
Please bring your questions as well to this important conversation. This will be a very interactive discussion.
