Mark Neely, our Director of Alternatives and Senior Client Advisor, joined The NYPEN Real Estate and Juniper Square panel which discussed The Rise of Private Wealth and Impact on Investment Managers. This event brought together a wide range of investment professionals, including some General Partners in the commercial real estate space. Mark spoke to the rapidly changing private wealth ecosystem, which has evolved significantly over the past few years. Mark’s input on ways to access the private wealth space for alternative managers and the increasing demand for alternative investments in the private wealth space was informative and reflective of how we view alternative investments as a part of client portfolios here at GenTrust. Mark discussed platforms, internal private markets experts, and commingled feeder funds as ways investment advisory firms access private markets. He also mentioned the core principles GenTrust uses when selecting private investments – differentiated exposure, importance of manager selection, and a focus on efficient after-tax returns.
Last night, NYPEN Real Estate and Juniper Square hosted a highly informative panel discussion on The Rise of Private Wealth and the Impact on Investment Managers. Many thanks to moderator Brandon Sedloff and panelists Mark Neely, Craig Hine and Hugh Macdonnell for their contributions to the thought-provoking conversation!
