As interest in alternative investments continues its meteoric rise, the forthcoming Alternative Investment Summit, held under the title “The Shifting Paradigm of Alternative Investments”, looks set to be a game-changing event.
The region’s leading gathering of regional and international C-level executives, institutional investors and industry professionals brings together a globally-influential milieu with more than US$8 trillion in assets under management.
Zachary Cefaratti, Chief Executive Officer at Dalma Capital, said: “It is an honor to be hosting delegates representing the region’s largest institutional investors and most influential family offices. I look forward to sharing the stage with a lineup of international speakers including the best and brightest in the Alternative Investments industry.”
Organised under the support of AIMA (the Alternative Investment Management Association) – the summit brings regional investors and managers in alternatives (hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, private debt) together with senior global industry leaders.
The highly-anticipated event brings one of the region’s first opportunities to examine the emerging world of digital assets and cryptocurrencies as alternative asset classes.
The conference is organized on a not-for-profit basis to advance the industry in the region.
Steve Barnett, Financial Centre Development, Financial Services Regulatory Authority, Abu Dhabi Global Market, ADGM, says: “The AIM Summit offers a valuable connection to a global network of funds and institutional investors and insights to the ever-evolving world of alternative investments. It is a great opportunity to meet new industry professionals, share best practices and discuss real issues influencing the markets of today and the future. As an IFC, ADGM will continue to welcome strategic and leading platforms such as the AIM Summit to bolster the investment community in Abu Dhabi and the region,”
Raha Moradi, Event Director, AIM Summit adds: “We have a fantastic level of global awareness and support for our Summit, which grows with every event. This edition will be graced by no less than 175 investors and 95 Fund Managers. There will also be representatives from 56 family offices and 14 sovereign fund managers. Given this high level of delegates, we are expecting the event to be an absolute game-changer”
The event is set to be held at the Rosewood Hotel, Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi May 2-3, 2018.
