What Makes the BW RIA ALTS Forum Unique?


Innovative, Multi-Faceted, Dynamic Interactions

The Buttonwood RIA ALTS Forum is a highly curated, education-driven gathering. Designed to foster meaningful dialogue rather than transactional networking, the event combines concise sponsor presentations with structured small-group discussions and RIA-only portfolio construction sessions led by Buttonwood’s due diligence team.

The objective is depth of engagement — ensuring every sponsor has substantive interaction with each attending registered investment advisor in an environment aligned with institutional standards of evaluation.

We intentionally limit participation to 10 asset managers and 35 RIAs to create an environment built on depth, not scale.

For managers building thoughtful RIA distribution, this format is especially impactful:

• 10-minute focused presentation to the full RIA group
• Rotating 15-minute small-group discussions with every RIA (~7 per table)
• Dedicated time for substantive Q&A — not quick booth conversations

We intentionally cap sponsor participation to maintain balance and depth of engagement
