Set against the stunning backdrop of the Ocean State’s Narragansett Bay, our Blue Ocean event co-hosted with the State of Rhode Island and the CFA Society Providence garnered media attention.


P&I's Caryl Anne Francia captures the essence and some soundbites of the event in her featured article: Institutional investors see ‘blue ocean’ opportunities through diverse private market managers.
