The PCM Opportunities Symposium is the ideal forum for family offices to not only get to know the industry leaders who are shaping this promising marketplace but to learn how to successfully transact and maximize returns in an evolving capital markets. Participants will get a fresh look at how capital formation is changing as well as learn where new growth opportunities exist, how social media is transforming Wall Street and most importantly, how to capitalize in this new paradigm. Discussion points will include:

•   What caused the demise of the small cap IPOs?
•   The rise of the private markets and developing asset classes such as Crowdfunding
•   Finding the next Facebook
•   Life after Facebook’s IPO
•   Successfully transacting in the private markets
•   Legal pitfalls
•   Accounting and Tax issues to know
•   Constructive liquidity strategies for private company stock and other illiquid assets

With the U.S. regulatory environment, its capital markets and the innovation that drives those markets simultaneously on the threshold of dramatic change, there has never been a more opportunistic time to generate wealth.
