“We have secured a high-profile list of speakers and focused on bringing together institutional and other end-investors as well as today’s top asset allocators to deliver valuable perspectives and insights that participants can act on,” said Anthony Scaramucci, managing partner of SkyBridge Capital and a regular contributor to CNBC. “Coming off a year of the best performance for the hedge fund industry in the past decade, the timing to convene these keen investors and capital allocators with talented managers in one place could not be better.”
Other notable speakers include: Austan Goolsbee, staff director & chief economist of President Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board and member of the Council of Economic Advisers; Nouriel Roubini, economics professor and chairman of Roubini Global Economics; and Jeremy Siegel, the Russell E.

The Conference convenes public policy officials, capital allocators and managers to discuss the government’s role in the financial markets, allocation trends, the importance of risk management and the changing regulatory landscape. In its second year, registration has exceeded expectations and a strong majority of the confirmed attendees are end-investors including sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, endowments, foundations, family offices and private clients and treasury.
