The Soho Loft ​Media Group with LDJ Capital and Victoria Global supported the Family Office & Private Wealth Management Forum West, organized by the Opal Group last October 28-30, 2015 in Napa Valley Marriott in Napa, California

NEW YORK – Nov. 26, 2015 – Family offices, consultants, endowments, attorneys, financial planners, accountants, foundations, related professionals and high net worth individuals converged at the Napa Valley Marriott Hotel & Spa for this most awaited forum.

According to David Drake, Chairman of LDJ Capital, The Soho Loft Media Group and Victoria Global, “The forum was a valuable experience for investors, family offices, related professionals and to all the participants who attended. They discussed various  investment strategies and got a chance to expand their network and these are  important to  personal financial technology investments. The online automation of private offerings is silently exploding and is the mega trend for 2016.  Private offerings can finally be advertised under the JOBS act  and this is the 2016 revolution in the US.  We built this platform solution for Prudential 7 years too early.  Meanwhile,  the broker community is racing to create the Etrade and Schwab of online investment automation to the 8,700,000 accredited Americans and the more than 200 million non accredited investors in the US.  These are pertinent topics that family offices are now discussing.”

The three day event featured exhibits, various panel discussions and a Napa Valley Wine Tour where in the participants had a unique opportunity to relish and sample wines from the vineyards of Napa Valley. The participants were served a Continental breakfast every morning, had numerous networking breaks and enjoyed a cocktail reception on the second night.  This reception gave them a chance to mingle with the industry professionals. The panel discussion topics included: Unique Opportunities in Alternatives, Uncompromised Impact Investing –  An in depth discussion of the actionable investment opportunity set today, and Insights and Innovations: Maximizing the Impact of your Philanthropy. Two of the prominent speakers were Congressman Eric Swalwell, of the California’s Fifteenth Congressional District, U.S. House of Representatives and Ambassador R.
