Jan Brzeski, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer at Arixa Capital was a panelist for the 2018 Liquid Alts Symposium hosted by the CFA Society Los Angeles on Wednesday, July 18th. Jan was on the panel titled "Adapting Strategies to Liquid Vehicles" and was joined by Max Darnell, Managing Partner and CIO at First Quadrant and Phillip Jarrell, Partner and SVP at Infinity Capital Partners. The panel was moderated by David Fred, SVP of Due Diligence at Bluerock. 

The eclectic mix of alternative investments traditionally offered with little to no liquidity is now available in liquid vehicles with provisions ranging from daily to quarterly liquidity. Products such as insurance linked securities, physical real estate, hedge funds, and currency/commodity funds make up a broad mix of new entrants into the liquid alts space and offering enticing sources of returns and risks previously not available to investors with liquidity restriction. The panelists discussed the unique features and terms of the different strategies in the space such as interval funds, 506(b) and (c) funds, and perpetual offering funds and offer insightful views on the role of their respective strategies in a diversified portfolio.

The event was held at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica. To learn more about CFA Society of Los Angeles, visit CFALA.org.
