Miami Hedge Fund week Panel 2024 Part II: Increasing Accessibility of Alternative Investments
Episode description
Join us for the second half of our panel discussions during this year's Hedge Fund week in Miami as we explore increasing accessibility of alternative investments through new ETF products and strategies. We’ve got Rodrigo Gordillo taking reigns from the quantitative perspective, Jerry Parker talking trend following, Bob Elliot on replication and Jay Pestrichelli, options guru, guiding us through hedge fund strategies, discussing their day-to-day responsibilities and tasks, highlighting differences in their approaches despite operating under the broad financial services umbrella.
We dive into challenges around educating investors on sophisticated strategies as well as recent regulatory changes that allow new product structures that are making alternative approaches more accessible to a wider range of investors. Topics discussed include quant fund management processes, trend following across 400 markets including single stocks, and harnessing options decay in a new ETF. Challenges of communicating performance during periods of potential underperformance are being addressed such as election year impacts and whether strategies position based on outcomes, capacity constraints of highest Sharpe strategies and limitations of full replication, along with democratizing diversification strategies through return stacking ETFs.
Sit back and gain knowledge on the expanding opportunities and accessibility in the alternatives space, with room for continued advances as innovation progresses, SEND IT!
