HJ Sims 1st Annual Private Wealth Management Summit Recap

It’s hard to believe it’s been a month since the HJ Sims Private Wealth Management team came together in Boca Raton, FL for our 1st Annual Private Wealth Management Summit. The focus: alternative investments.

The Summit was an opportunity for our financial professionals to gather for education, collaboration, inspiration and a little fun under the sun. With team members in offices around the U.S. and Puerto Rico, many team members have not had the chance to meet face-to-face with their colleagues outside of Zoom. The camaraderie proved to be invaluable, allowing the HJ Sims Private Wealth Management team to forge greater connections with each other and share insights.

While the connections were key, the icing on the cake was the thought-provoking education sessions put on by the Summit sponsors. The team heard about the latest on products, solutions and technology advancements from leading experts in the alternative investments space. Presenters included One Oak Capital Management, Glide Capital, Apollo Global Management, First Trust, Prospect Capital Management, InspereX, Nexpoint, Bluerock, WhiteHawk Energy and Capital Square as well as members of the HJ Sims investment banking team.

Check out the photos below for some of our favorite moments from the Summit.
