EDUCATION SESSION

Digital Assets 101 Presented by Women Leaders in Crypto

How do investors include digital assets in their portfolios? Have rising interest rates rendered them less attractive? Where are the opportunities ahead?

Get a 360-degree perspective on this emerging asset class from leaders of exchanges, custody providers, decentralized finance firms (DeFi) and law firms. Learn how to navigate the digital investment landscape and how these assets are bridging the gap with traditional finance.

Topics on the agenda include:

• The investment case for digital assets
• What to consider when first investing
• Market structure and current opportunity set
• Key challenges investors face when contemplating exposure to crypto assets
• Role of private keys, custody solutions and the way to mitigate crypto-specific risks

Bring your questions as you consider the opportunities and risks when adding digital assets to a portfolio for your clients, your firm and your own investments.

Following the discussion, share your views with colleagues as you network over drinks and snacks.
