Northern & Bessemer Trust, BNY Mellon, HSBC & Pictet lead Family Office Investors symposium

SANTA MONICA, Calif. - March 17, 2015 - PRLog -- Family office owners, investors, finance experts including accountants, investment and portfolio managers, family office advisors and experts will converge in Santa Monica, California for the 10th Annual Family Investment Symposium. This landmark event will take place at the Loews Hotel, 1700 Ocean Ave Santa Monica Walnut Street Philadelphia, CA 90401. The 3-day event will focus on sustainability of family offices while maintaining impact, and the technical aspects of taxes and investing, as well as  balancing the two through integrated planning.

According to Victoria Global,  LDJ Capital and The Soho Loft Media Group Founder and Chairman David Drake (http://thesoholoft.com/david/), “Family office businesses around  the globe are booming mostly because of their response to the rising demographics of ultra rich individuals with a minimum of 1 million dollars investable assets. In 2014, Capgemini and RCBC Wealth Management prepared the World Wealth Report that shows about 2 million individuals became millionaires globally in 2013. This represents a 15 percent increase bringing the total number of millionaires to at least 14 million. In the same year, the total net worth of millionaires was 52.6 trillion dollars.  Growing at a 6.9 percent annual rate, the reports forecasts that global wealth will hit the 64.3 trillion dollar mark by 2016.”

The 10th Annual Family Office Investment Symposium agenda kicks-off at 4:30pm on 16th March with a Private Family Office Roundtable specially designed for attendees from family offices. Attendees from family offices can expect to discuss issues pertaining to "Investing, Family Office Administration and Governance" during the  closed door meeting on day one of the symposium. A welcome Wine & Cheese Reception to be hosted by Eisner Amper will close day one.  Day two will start with welcome and opening remarks followed by a host of panel discussion sessions. Discussions will range from "Trends in the Family Office", "Alternative Investment", "Rethinking Portfolio Management through Challenging Market Environments" to "Real Estate Investment", "The Macroeconomic Discussion" and "Flipping Life Insurance on Its Head".

Attendees can choose which of the series of four breakout sessions to attend  in the afternoon.  Discussion topics in these sessions will include "The "New" Fixed Income: Minimal Short-Term Drawdowns – Long Term Focus", "The Path to Energy Independence – Investment Opportunities from the US Energy Renaissance", "Accessing Emerging Market Debt in a Low Volatility Framework", and "Direct Lending vs. Crowdfunding Panel". On day  three, attendees can participate in discussions around "Economic Outlook 2015", "Next Gen Illiquid & Liquid Strategies to Optimally Grow and Preserve Wealth", "Trust Deeds as an Alternative Class" and "The Future of Investment Management is Here - Are You Ready?" and many more.
