This MasterClass will be a prime opportunity to understand how the new legislation affects existing SBICs, the licensing of new SBICs, and the ways SBICs can be managed for maximum success in 2011 and beyond.

This event is designed for institutional investors to address current trends in private equity, venture capital and leveraged buyouts. The conference will investigate a variety of investment avenues and the most effective investing strategies in each. We will discuss such issues as private equity portfolio theory, fund of funds as an investment vehicle, private equity buyouts in emerging markets, real estate opportunities and pitfalls, fixed income alternative investments, and international investing.

This conference will provide information on real estate and real assets to the key decision makers and other representatives of the nation's largest pension, endowment and foundation funds. Discussions will focus on reproducible assets such as farmland, buildings, machinery, and irreproducible assets such as land, a mine, or a work of art. Investors and managers will have the chance to exchange ideas and to learn from other delegates and presenters within this niche investment community.
