Democratizing Alpha: Innovation in Asset Management
Sponsored by: Dechert LLP
Innovation across asset management is expanding how investors access private market strategies and reshaping the structures through which alternative investments are delivered.
Join industry leaders for a discussion on the regulatory, structural and technological developments influencing this evolution, from private market valuations and alternative investment vehicles to defined contribution plans and tokenization.
Key Topics
• Examine recent SEC guidance on private market valuations and key considerations for asset managers.
• Explore the evolving landscape for business development companies and interval funds, including regulatory proposals and performance fee considerations.
• Assess the potential impact of the DOL proposal to expand access to alternative assets through defined contribution plans.
• Consider how tokenization could reshape investment access, including potential opportunities and risks.
Bring your questions and network with industry peers over refreshments following the discussion.
Guests are invited to learn more about 100 Women in Finance here and join as a new member here.
