The Bahamas is the venue for two upcoming conferences aimed at attracting, among others, high net worth investors. Between April 26 and April 28 2001, The Atlantis Hotel, Paradise Island, will play host to Opal Financial Group's Private Wealth Management Summit, which will be immediately followed by Opal's Absolute Return Strategies Summit, which will be held from April 29 to May 2.

Opal Financial Group is a New York-based organiser of mainly institutional investment conferences for, among others, corporate pension funds, endowments, family offices, 401(K) plans and high net worth individuals. Of the Private Wealth Management Summit, the company said it was 'proud to bring our high quality educational events to an audience outside the institutional investment community for the first time, in a forum designed specifically to address the investment challenges faced by high net worth individuals and family offices.'

Participants at the event are due to speak on a range of issues, including hedge fund selection strategies, private equity investment, tax planning and asset allocation, risk management techniques, data aggregation, and the impact of technology on portfolio management. Panel sessions and networking breaks will be an integral part of the conference programme.

The ensuing Absolute Return Strategies Summit aims to provide absolute return strategy education and information to the key decision makers and other representatives from the largest pension funds, endowments, foundations, family offices and other institutional investors, as well as high net worth individuals from around the globe. Opal says the conference represents 'a unique opportunity to identify and assess the fields of managed futures, hedge funds, commodities and other alternative investment strategies.' Topics to be addressed include comparing the costs of managed futures to their returns, investigating alpha maximization strategies, and examining the ramifications of hedge fund investment, all of which are geared towards giving investors a greater understanding of how the use of absolute returns strategies can influence the performance of an investment portfolio.
