Steans, President, Financial Investments Corporation; and Diane Sterthous, Portfolio Manager, Private Assets, Glenmede.
“We are very excited to be partnering with such a respected news and information leader for single family offices. A growing number of family offices are seeing private equity as an investment area worth pursuing and they are exploring investing directly in funds or even directly in deals,” said Beth Falk, president, Falk Marques Group; founder and managing director, Women’s Alternative Investment and Women’s Private Equity Summits. “With this in mind, we have developed a specialized workshop that will provide single family offices with a rare glimpse into the private equity playing field and the opportunity to discover how leading institutional investors and general partners are deploying capital.”
The content-rich workshop will provide single family office attendees with 3 key takeaways:
- Clarity into how other families are approaching private equity;
- Honest feedback from experienced investors on where they see direct investing opportunities and where they see challenges; and
- Candid insight on how our expert panelists approach risk and the steps they take before investing in funds or doing deals.
“The Falk Marques Group and the Women’s Alternative Investment Summit have an outstanding reputation for bringing together the most senior-level women in private equity and alternative investments in an atmosphere that fosters honest conversation, powerful networking and the opportunity to do deals. We felt the Summit was the perfect environment for our single family offices to grow their knowledge of private equity investing and hot investment sectors,” said Steffi Claiden, founder and CEO, Family Office Review/Family Office Capital Network.
