The wealth management landscape is undergoing a profound shift. Alternative investments—once reserved for institutions and ultra-high-net-worth investors—are rapidly migrating into retail portfolios. But what does this evolution really mean for advisors and investors?

Join CFA Society San Francisco for a luncheon featuring Michael Ross, financial advisor and author of The False Hope of Global Diversification. This session offers a deep dive into the practicalities of the "alts revolution," moving beyond the hype to examine how private markets actually fit into a modern diversified strategy.

Key Discussion Topics:
  • How product innovation and regulatory developments are reshaping the definition and expectations of the accredited investor.
  • Practical strategies for integrating alternatives without compromising portfolio liquidity or reporting clarity.
  • A data-driven look at common myths surrounding private market diversification in volatile cycles.

Whether you are managing high-net-worth client accounts, refining your firm’s investment framework, or navigating your own investment strategy, this luncheon provides a clear view into where the market is heading. Connect with fellow investment professionals for an engaging discussion on the future of private market integration.
