CAASA WEBINAR: LIQUID ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS – THE IMPACT ON CANADIAN MARKETS
Overview
Historically, alternative investments were only available to institutional and high net worth investors. In this private placement world, managers had significant investment discretion with regards to disclosure, fees, liquidity, leverage and derivatives positions. In recent years, a growing number of investment managers have made products available in a “liquid alternatives” format, the emerging topic covered in this presentation. Discussion includes the significant regulatory differences of liquid alternatives from private placement products, despite their wide availability to retail investors. The differences in performance and due diligence requirements are also discussed.
