MIAMI 2015--- THE PALM BEACH HEDGE FUND ASSOCIATION MEET & GREET Our Miami 2015 meet & greet has been scheduled for 2.19.2015 at Crazy About You on Brickell. 2015 has been a fantastic year with many new members, several deal closings, capital raised, and long term friendships formed. Hope to see you in Miami! Peace, Surf http://pbhfa.org/event/miami-2015-the-palm-beach-hedge-fund-association-meet-greet/
I will definitely be at this event. It's highly unlikely that I will be sporting suit and tie attire, but nevertheless, I will see you soon. Also, where do you recommend I stay?
Great, I'll not be in a suit or a tie. I am not really familiar with Miami hotels-- But I would definitely recommend hotels on South Beach. There's a great diner called Big Pink at 157 Collins that makes for some fun late night dining, if you don't want to spend a lot but get some great food------ saw anne hathaway and talked to the singer from Mastodon there last time....
Cool. The only reason I mentioned that to begin with is that those BattleFin pics you posted looked like an army of suits.
Battlefin is a whole different thing, those guys are desperate! LOL Here are a few shots from previous meet & greets-- http://pbhfa.org/event/pbhfas-miami-networking-event/ http://pbhfa.org/news/ The one I do have a sports coat on, surf
http://www.opalesque.com/RT153/Newsletter_RT_02052015.html Knight Frank lists Miami as one of the top ten global cities where the wealthiest 0.1% of the world live or want to live. In 2014, resale prices for downtown condos have increased by 20% and rents are up 10%. Art Basel, one of the biggest art exhibits in the world, didn’t choose New York or L.A. They chose Miami. Dubbed the “spring break for the rich”, more private airplanes are in Miami than anywhere else during that time. But, maybe even more important, Miami is also listed as one of the top-15 cities in the world where young people want to live and work. That has the power to be a game-changer over the long-term. Already now, employers rave about the diversity of talent by way of background available in the city. The University of Miami has 6,000 computer science students and is constantly in the top-50 rankings, while 55,000 students attend the Florida International University, which also offers a Masters in Finance Program. Miami was always a banking center. Starting out as a regional banking center, Miami grew over time to being the capital of the Caribbean, if not Latin America, and certainly, the preeminent financial center for deposit collection. Along with that, the private banking community also grew immensely and created a tremendous amount of wealth. There are still huge amounts of capital migrating to Miami. Investors are forming single and multi family offices, and a number of large hedge funds have recently migrated to Florida. Miami is also a major legal center for Latin America, and healthcare is another very important aspect of the local economy. Of course, there is the weather and the out door lifestyle, that allows you to be outside throughout most parts of the year. And then there is Miami real estate. “When you want to know what’s going on in the world, you don’t need to watch CNN. You can just look at the Miami real estate market where you can watch live what happens in a lot of foreign countries”, says Nitin Motwani. Until recently, the Russians were buying very aggressively and actively for a long period of time; that stopped when the U.S. placed them in the penalty box. Then, the New Yorkers came in because hedge funds did well for a couple of years. The highest price was $6,000 a square foot for one of the penthouses. The beat is on in Miami!
