Greenwich, CT (PRWEB) October 29, 2013 -- The Ivy Family Office Network hosted its 2014 Family Office Outlook Forum in Greenwich, CT on October 24th with a discussion on “2014 Portfolio Allocation” led Tom Sowanick. Mr. Sowanick is the Co-President and Chief Investment Officer of OmniVest Group, LLC.

According to Mr. Sowanick, “We are in the process of an old fashioned currency devaluation war. Abenomics pushes Japanese investors offshore and weakens the yen. This effort will keep the spigot of liquidity open for longer than expected resulting in prolonged yen carry trade.”

Mr. Sowanick also explained, “During the course of the last year and for the near future we are taking actions including, (1) reducing exposure to CTA’s and now have zero exposure to this investment space. (2) eliminating exposure to L/S managers and will continue to reduce exposure to managers that only give us access to beta strategies. (3) increasing exposure to European credit and distressed credit. We are also considering investing in go anywhere strategies but need to get a deeper understanding of their risk profiles.”

Other speakers on the panel included Michael Ingwer of Acies Group, Anders Ekernas of Hillswick Asset Management and Ed Matluck of Navigant Capital.
