As the investment climate changes and public offerings fluctuate, alternative investment firm investing takes on a new character and importance.

It is against this backdrop that Argyle Executive Forum presents its 2009 Limited Partners Leadership Forum. The forum, taking place in Manhattan, brings together approximately 135-150 senior investment officers from the endowment, foundation, and family office community, as well as CEOs and Board members of public and private mid cap and large cap corporations, founders/senior managing partners of investment firms and select advisors. The forum will focus on several areas including (but not limited to): an examination of the public side of private equity, emerging vs established markets for alternative investment firms, manager due diligence, fund formation trends, as well as an outlook on expected returns for different asset classes .

Please note that seating for members of the advisory community is offered first to those that are supporting the event as sponsors.
