What investors do with the data - Investors on using GP reporting data and what it can show about their funds
Investors receive huge amounts of data from their managers: quarterly reports, portfolio positions, DDQs, tailored requests... and much more. But how well do Investors analyze this data, and what does it tell them about their managers? What more could be done with increased transparency and standardized reporting?
This panel will bring together institutional investors to share current best practices in manager data analytics, and views on how much more could be done.
Keynote interview with Dyal Capital Partners - Examining the minority stakes trends in alternatives
Dyal Capital Partners is a leading firm dedicated to acquiring minority equity stakes in established alternative asset managers, having raised close to $15billion and partnered with 32 managers to date. This session will be a ‘fireside chat’ with Andrew Laurino, Managing Director and a member of Dyal’s investment committee, and Drew Phillips, a Partner at Atalaya Capital Management, a private credit manager, and one of Dyal’s recent partnerships.
Key topics covered will be (i) current trends in this rapidly evolving segment of the market and (ii) how potential minority stake purchasers tend to approach diligence of managers, including valuation and succession planning. The session will also feature discussion related to the impact of industry consolidation and Q&A with the audience.

Approaching and tackling sexual harassment in ODD, operations and firm culture
In the wake of the #MeToo movement, many segments of society are analyzing their approach to sexual harassment, its causes and prevention. For many years this topic was swept under the rug in alternatives - a 2018 survey from the IMDDA finding that 90% of investors do not inquire about sexual harassment during fund manager due diligence. However, with new legislation coming through for Funds and several high profile cases, the topic can no longer be ignored.
Our panel of leading Fund operations and ODD experts will tackle the question head on. From the best ODD questions to ask, to how to address the issues culturally within your firm - you will walk away with practical tips to ensure this key issue is not tick box exercise at your firm.
