Alternative Investing Summit 2018

December 5th-7th, 2018
Ritz Carlton

One Ritz Carlton Dr, Dana Point, CA 92629
The Alternative Investing Summit will bring together trustees and representatives of institutions as well as money managers and consultants to explore the roles of alternative opportunities and strategies. As a strategy, alternatives offer investors a method to obtain the returns they require and break the paradigm of the 60/40 rule, however not all alternatives are the same nor do they come without certain risks. Participants and delegates of this alternative investment conference will investigate a range of critical investment issues, including discussion of the risks and benefits of various asset classes and investment vehicles such as hedge funds and private equity, examining means of cutting costs associated with implementation of absolute returns strategies, reviewing the future of commodities and surveying the landscape of emerging international markets. With the current struggle of obtaining these returns, the question of fees has become of particular relevance, especially within the field of alternatives as investors measure their risks v. rewards. We will also look into impact investing as a way of obtaining returns that are socially responsible as well as many issues involved with fund management and the importance of education for trustees and other investment officers.
The label "alternative" describes a nebulous investment class to many investors, especially those in the institutional world who have strict ethical and fiduciary obligations to their organizations. However, pursuing alternative investments is essential to maximizing returns while maintaining proper asset allocation in plan portfolios of endowments, foundations, family offices, and public and corporate funds.
Conference Format
This conference will exclusively feature dialogue driven panel discussions led by consultants and family offices. In order to maintain the educational value of our events, we prohibit any use of PowerPoint presentations during panel discussions. *Only Standalone Speakers will be allowed to use PowerPoints during their presentation.

Milken Institute’s 21st Global Conference
At the Milken Institute’s 21st Global Conference, the strongest minds in business, government, technology, philanthropy, academia, and media will examine these challenges to find actionable, collaborative solutions to some of the most important questions of our time.
Navigating a World in Transition
A global transformation is underway, disrupting traditional social and economic foundations and heralding an era of rapid change and challenge. Shifting political tides, emerging demographic trends, and relentless leaps in technology are bellwethers of a world in transition.
These developments promise longer and healthier lives, broader prosperity, and, possibly, a more just society. To realize their potential, we must address the downsides of change: rising income inequality, uneven access to health care, diminishing financial security, polarization, and geopolitical uncertainty.

China: Finding Solutions @ USC U.S.-China Institute

Los Angeles, CA
"Finding Solutions" will focus on the work of individuals, companies, and NGOs to address some of China’s pressing challenges.
China, not unlike the United States, confronts enormous challenges. These include deadly environmental degradation, a rapidly aging population, unequal access to education and health care, a skills mismatch between what graduates can do and what employers seek, low social trust and community engagement, regional and intraregional inequality, and low labor and capital productivity.
Often conferences merely document such problems without exploring in concrete terms what businesses, non-profit organizations, and government agencies are doing to address them. Our China: Finding Solutions conference won’t minimize the size and complexity of such problems, but it will highlight how individuals and institutions are battling them. Our panelists will include distinguished scholars, entrepreneurs, organization leaders, and officials. We invite you to be a part of the discussion.

at the Port of Los Angeles
The Rising Tide Summit – with support from the XPRIZE Ocean Initiative and AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles – will convene business leaders, thinkers and innovators later this month to discuss and unite on issues and solutions surrounding ocean conservation.
"The ocean is the most powerful economic engine on earth and without a healthy ocean, there are no healthy people, planet or profits,” said Vipe Desai, Founder, Rising Tide Summit and CEO of HDX Hydration Mix. “This summit was designed to prompt solution-driven conversations among thought leaders and socially responsible brands. Science informs us of the problem. Businesses should be able to deliver a solution. That’s what the Rising Tide Summit is about.”
The conference will be held from 9 am to 4 pm, March 28 and 29 at AltaSea’s harbor-area campus for advanced science, education and innovation incubation in San Pedro, California. The conference is designed to raise awareness about the state of our oceans and help the conservation community build consensus solutions to problems facing our world’s most valuable resource.
“If the 20th Century was focused on exploration of our frontiers in space, the 21st Century will be about a frontier much closer to home, our vast, largely unexplored oceans,” said Jenny Krusoe, AltaSea’s executive director. “AltaSea brings together ocean-based research, STEM education and sustainable business incubation, to solve the great problems facing our world. Hosting the inaugural Rising Tide Summit here in the nation’s busiest port complex is a natural fit. We must join together to address the challenges facing our oceans, and ourselves.”
The conference will feature panel discussions, keynote presentations, workshops and more by science experts, investors, business leaders, emerging ocean advocates and foundation executives. Several major announcements are anticipated from participating organizations regarding new projects, research and campaigns.

Founding partner Daniel Rosen has spoken at the USC U.S.-China Institute a couple of times, including in 2013. On Thursday, Feb. 8, we are delighted to welcome Rhodium Group senior analyst Cassie Gao to speak. She has written extensively on Chinese investment in the U.S. and is especially focused on California.

Investing in Smart Beta on March 22, 2016 @ the Westin Fort Lauderdale
|
Much has been said regarding the timing of investing in factor-based strategies. In addition to understanding the underlying assumptions of these funds it's critical to know what's driving returns and will these tilts work going forward. Are these strategies for long-term investors only or can they be utilized as a tactical play as well?
Atthe 2016 Investing in Smart Beta conference you will have the opportunity to hear from two leading experts as they discuss the pros & cons of single factor vs. multi-factor strategies and when they should be used. Factor Investing And Its Difference From Other Approaches To Smart Beta Smart beta’s critics have frequently contended that it’s little more than a variation of factor tilting. Yet in recent years, leading investment companies have introduced a host of vehicles based on a variety of factors, including quality, value, momentum, low volatility and size that contribute to different levels of risk and return for investors. This session will analyze the theory behind these products and compare holding a broad smart beta strategy versus implementing a do-it-yourself approach that blends factor ETFs together. |

Recurring Revenue Conference Welcomes Leading CEOs, Investors and Financial Experts at Skirball Cultural Center February 23
|
How do you make it difficult for your competitors to take away customers while also making it undesirable for your customers to switch their business? Today a growing number of companies are engaging recurring revenue business models. Those who want to learn more are invited to attend the Recurring Revenue Conference on Wednesday, February 23, 2016 at Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. The event featuring CEOs, venture capitalists, private equity investors, financial advisors, panels, workshops and networking is sponsored by Clear Channel Advisors.
“This dynamic conference highlights today’s fast-growing subscription-based economy from monthly renewals and software as a service to strategic solutions enabling companies to gain higher sales, better yields and increase customer retention,” said Brad Turner, CEO Santa Monica-based Market Completion Fund and marketing director for Quants Corporation. Recurring revenue models empower companies to grow non-traditional sales, gain competitive advantage and increase market share in healthcare, retail, e-commerce, entertainment and hundreds of industries. Industry experts estimate the total market value of the opportunity for recurring revenue business at $500 billion or more. Conference attendees will learn why companies less than five years old are valued at 10-20 times earnings or higher as others struggle to grow. How Salesforce, Adobe, NetSuite, Amazon, and Netflix have reaped huge benefits from new consumption and distribution models built on recurring revenue, and new partnering relationships including Comcast-Xbox, DropBox, SalesForce App Exchange, Apple App Store and others. And key criteria why investors are investing in this explosive growth category. So what exactly is recurring revenue? According to Investopedia, it is the portion of a company's revenue that is highly likely to continue in the future; revenue that is predictable, stable and can be counted on in the future with a high degree of certainty. |

With recurring revenue business models shown to deliver stable, predictable income and higher customer lifetime value along with flexibility and personalization for customers, it’s no surprise that an estimated half of all U.S. businesses have either adopted or are planning to adopt recurring revenue models!
With recurring revenue fast becoming the gold standard for business models as not all revenue is created equal, many of today’s CEOs are advised to build this strategy into their own business models. Unlike traditional or one-time sales models that rely heavily on customer acquisition, up-front fees and outdated manual processes like spreadsheets and database exports, recurring revenue models offer opportunities to establish continual, highly predictable revenue streams. With scalability, enhanced customer engagement and longer retention. But beware of exchanging a current business model for the quick-fix recurring revenue solution: implementation often demands planning, processes, software and systems technology, along with seasoned experts to guide you.
Attendees will also learn why investors pay premium prices for companies with subscription revenue models, how successful subscription-based businesses are managing explosive growth, and why building and optimizing ongoing customer relationships are the lifeblood of subscription businesses. A host of panel presentations include The Big Impact of Big Data; So Cal Rockstars You Don’t Know-But Will, Cyber Security: The Shadow Under the Cloud, and Analytics That Drive Your Venture’s Valuation, Reinventing Med-Tech: Meet The Disruptors, and Fast Pitches To Seasoned Investors.
Featured speakers are Nick Green, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Thrive Market; Perry Wallack, CFO, Cornerstone OnDemand; Esther Nordlinger, Creative Artists Agency (CAA); Alex Backer, QLess; Heather Bearfield, Marcum; Michael Bell, Infrascale Inc; Chirag Chotalia, Pritzker Group Venture Capital; Nick Desai, Heal; Mark Hauser, OFS Capital Management, LLC; Bill Hunscher, TZP Growth Partners; Amit Jain, Bridg; Graham Jones, eSalon; Ben Kuo, Socaltech LLC; BJ Lackland, Lighter Capital; Jess Lewis, FilmTrack; Chris Lueck, FastSpring; Brian Nolan, Sellbrite; Nimish Patel, Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP; Robin D.
