SAIA's 9th Annual Alternative Investment Summit:

Coming Together Around Alternatives: Two Years Later - A Fireside Chat With David Matter of BlackRock Alternative Advisors and Peter Duncan of Silver Creek Capital

Dear SAIA Community,

We are thrilled to host our 9th Annual Alternative Investment Summit in person on Wednesday, December 1st! It’s been an unprecedented 24 months since the last SAIA Annual Alternative Investment Summit. Over this time, the world has endured a pandemic that began with a precipitous decline in equity markets, followed by a sharp rebound. Many would argue that this chain of events served as a much-needed catalyst to disrupt financial markets and reset investment opportunities for alternative investment managers.

As such, SAIA is pleased to have David Matter, Co-CIO of BlackRock Alternative Advisors, and Peter Duncan, Portfolio Manager and Managing Director at Silver Creek Capital, share their insights at a fireside chat. Please join us as they discuss broad-based topics including the ongoing impact of Covid on capital markets, areas of concern and potential investment opportunities for alternative strategies. They will be taking questions as well, so come armed.

We look forward to seeing you in person soon!
