Who is uncorrelated?
As Miami Alts Week continues to grow in significance, a void has been created:
Rising Costs: Attendance fees for both managers and service providers have significantly increased.
Required Memberships: Additional fees fragment the investor audience and sideline niche managers, limiting their access to new capital sources.
ROI for Service Providers: Increasing marketing investments are yielding diminishing returns, a realization that's becoming more widespread among participants.
High Meeting Threshold: Investors are required to meet a high minimum threshold, leading to unproductive interactions.
Diluted Meeting Pool: The focus on revenue has increased fund manager attendance, diluting the pool of available meetings for investors and allocators.
Despite an expected turnout of over 6,000 at the larger Miami Alts Week conferences, many attendees find these events overly prolonged and stressful. Technology is meant to reduce costs and provide for better outcomes where it is applied. It’s not happening here, costs continue to increase. There's a strong call for a more intimate setting that fosters better engagement and outcomes.
Introducing Uncorrelated Miami
In response to these concerns, we are launching Uncorrelated Miami, a conference dedicated to niche, capacity-constrained strategies across alternative investments. This event will focus on:
Private Equity
Hedge Funds
Digital Assets
Venture Capital
Real Estate
Private Credit
While bellwether fund managers have their place, Uncorrelated Miami provides an outlet for unique strategies that offer enhanced returns, uncorrelated from public markets and mainstream strategies. Our aim is to create a more intimate and curated setting, fostering meaningful connections and better outcomes for all participants.
Conference Content and Agenda Framework
Allocator-Led Roundtable Sessions: These sessions will allow fund managers to gain insights into what allocators are seeking from an investment perspective, including aspects of operational due diligence.
Thought Leadership: The agenda will include sessions to help fund managers focus on internal procedures to meet their duties in an increasingly regulatory environment.
Networking Breaks: Scheduled breaks will facilitate networking and provide a respite from continuous, all-day content.
Low-Key Events: Trendy, right-sized events will continue the conversation in a relaxed setting, away from the noise.
Our goal is to attract both local and external capital, fostering unique investment opportunities.
Uncorrelated Miami: An Alternative Investment Conference
We are in the organizing stages of an upcoming alternative investment conference, Uncorrelated Miami, set for January next year, with collaborative warm-up events leading up to the final week of January in Miami.
Our focus is to bring back the original essence of predecessor Miami alternatives conferences by adhering to first principles:
Intimate and Bespoke Experience: We aim to create an environment that is distinct from the noise and high-stress levels of larger conferences. The conference will target a size of six to eight hundred participants.
Curated Connections: Managers will have the opportunity to seek connections that unlock new allocations and investment possibilities.
Collaborative Atmosphere: Our approach will minimize the fear of missing out (FOMO) and foster a more collaborative environment, providing service provider partners with meaningful opportunities to connect with their target clientele.
Cost-Effective Participation: We recognize that larger conferences have become overly expensive with minimal return on investment for client acquisition. Uncorrelated Miami aims to offer a more value-driven alternative.
No Meeting Quotas: Allocators will not be required to meet a minimum threshold of meetings, avoiding the quota-driven interactions common in other conferences.
Unique Investment Strategies: The conference will highlight uncorrelated, niche, and capacity-constrained strategies for both the traditional alternatives investment community and the growing wealth management channel.
Content & Education: While we are not designing for non-stop content delivery, we are focused on providing educational and thought-provoking sessions. Our aim is to offer insights and practical applications for investors, allocators, and fund managers, avoiding superficial content centered on celebrity appeal.
The Team
The team is dedicated to reestablishing the first principles of the earlier vintages of Miami Alts Weeks events, further establishing Miami as a hub for alternative investments. This effort is complemented by the launch of Miami Alts Week magazine, which will provide in-depth insights, industry trends, and expert commentary for investors, while helping newcomers navigate Miami Alts Week.
With decades of senior-level experience in fintech, esoteric asset-backed lending, and turnaround management, our team includes the architect behind the original Miami Alts Week event, AlphaMetrix Events, and co-founder of Context Summits. These events revolutionized the alternative investment industry by creating the one-on-one meeting format between fund managers and investors, as outlined earlier regarding first principles, resulting in the largest alternative investment gathering in Miami. Our expertise also extends to founding fintech platforms that connect investors with diverse alternative investments, as well as offering deep investment research, best practices consulting, and operational due diligence across the broad spectrum of alternative investments.
