Rick Lake And Greg Bassuk To Co-Chair The 4th Annual Liquid Alternative Strategies Summit


NEW YORK, March 16, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The 4th Annual Liquid Alternative Strategies Summit today announced that the Summit will be co-chaired by longtime Liquid Alternatives executives Rick Lake and Greg Bassuk.

The annual Summit, focused on global retail and institutional Liquid Alternative investments, will take place May 1, 2018 in New York City.

Announcing the appointments, Don Friedman, JV Events Group CEO, said: "I'm delighted and grateful for the expertise and leadership that both Rick and Greg bring to developing an agenda that is first-rate for financial advisors and institutional investors focused on the due diligence and application of Liquid Alternative strategies. Their experience in building successful Liquid Alternative funds and businesses has led to important industry innovations and improved outcomes for investors."

Rick Lake is Co-Chairman of Lake Partners, an alternative investment advisory firm founded in 1989, and oversees the firm's research on alternative mutual funds and ETFs. Rick is also portfolio manager of the LASSO® Long and Short Strategic Opportunities® portfolio of alternative mutual funds, one of the first of its type, launched in 1998. He is also manager of the innovative LASSO® Alternative ETF Portfolios.

Greg Bassuk is Managing Director and Head of Liquid Alternative Strategies at FS Investments, a leading alternative investment asset manager, where he oversees the development and management of the firm's liquid alternatives platform.

"The Summit will explore solutions for the pressing issues facing investors today, including renewed market volatility, rising interest rates and the return of inflation," said Rick Lake. "The Summit's comprehensive agenda will explore the spectrum of Liquid Alternative strategies, their potential returns and diversification benefits, as well as risks, and how to optimize portfolio construction and asset allocation with Liquid Alts."

"Liquid Alternative strategies can unlock investor access to differentiated, alternative sources of investment returns. Education on product innovation, portfolio construction, asset allocation and risk management will continue to best position investors to effectively utilize alternative investment strategies in achieving their investment objectives."
