“With unemployment rates continuing to plunge, tax rates at record lows and a continuing appetite for growth in the industrial, office and multi-family segments of real estate, there is no time like the present to size up the investment opportunities in real estate and direct lending for the balance of the New Year,” said Michael Corcelli, Founder and Chairman of FLAIA and Managing Partner of Alexander Alternative Capital in Miami. Scheduled agenda topics include:
Disruption of the Airbnb Model
Commercial Real Estate Development
Tokenization of Real Estate
Real Estate Technology
Economic Opportunity Zones
Traditional Bank Financing vs. Direct Lending
Asset Based Lending
Blockchain’s Impact on Lenders and Borrowers
Small Business and Corporate Lending
2019 Direct Lending Opportunities and Trends
The conference is divided into two distinct forums. The first day’s event, March 4, is entitled Real Estate Finance and Private Wealth Forum, and will provide participants with a forecast of industry macroeconomic trends and opportunities. The second day, March 5, will feature the Direct Lending Forum, where participants will hear from experts in the following areas: Best Practices and Industry Developments; Asset Based Lending in the Emerging Global Economy; Private Debt Funds; Managing Private Credit; and Senior Lending Strategies.

The AMEXCAP is organizing its sixth Mexico Private Equity Day in New York. The event will take place between June 6th and June 7th at the hotel Le Parker Meridien.
The main objective of this flagship event is to attract foreign investments in Mexico, as well as cement bonds and develop synergies between players operating in Mexico and international participants. The most dynamic LPs, GPs and specialized advisory firms will share their experiences in the Mexican PE market.
Mexico has yet to face several challenges in 2018. Among the most important ones are the resumption of the NAFTA negotiation rounds, as well as the Presidential elections in Mexico. However, 2017 was a great example of Mexico’s strength, as it faced many adversities, emerging victorious from pessimistic economic forecasts, protectionist policies from the US Government and two major earthquakes.
