Coming in Hot! 🔥
Summer's over but TIDE's dance card is on fire!
Although, that's par for the course. When isn't TIDE on fire?! ;)
And on that note, we're currently 30k ft en route to Richmond to golf with VRS' very own Andrew Junkin alongside Ralph Canada of Pretium, a long-time supporter of TIDE 💜, and a few more folks in the industry. Btw, don't forget to wish AJ a happy birthday this Saturday!
Then we'll head to the Big Apple for some meetings where our HQ will be at Khazanah's Office - thank you for the hospitality, Jason Goh!
We'll end the week in LA to attend the FIIRE Gala, which is a non-profit founded by Gloria Gil of Oregon State Treasury. The Board Members include Janice Llereza (formerly Boeing, stayed tuned for exciting updates!) and Fernando Vinzons (CTPF).
No rest for the weary and as such, we go straight back to NYC for Pretium's AGM and to celebrate an industry legend's retirement - Derek Jones of GCM Grosvenor. We'll also be a guest at Sallie Krawcheck's home in NYC - shout out to Kelly Baldoni at IMPAX for the special invite!
AND THEN...drum roll please 🥁...our Blue Ocean Event.
That's just the month of September.
All this to say we're non-stop connecting with rockstars in the industry to nourish and grow the TIDE Tribe one quality relationship at a time.

First Item of Business: Blue Ocean
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Ocean State’s Narragansett Bay, this year’s gathering introduces a bold new theme: Blue Ocean.
Far from the crowded waters of conventional investing, Blue Ocean strategies focus on unlocking new, uncontested opportunities - from emerging managers and underrepresented talent to innovative asset classes and partnership models. The event will spotlight how institutional capital can move beyond legacy networks and tap into performance potential where others may not be looking.
Expect intimate conversations, high-quality LP-GP dialogue, and a setting designed to inspire fresh thinking. The tides are changing —-and in Rhode Island, we’ll be leading the way forward.

The Starboard Journal ⚓️
We are delighted to unveil The Starboard Journal (TSJ), inspired by TIDE’s nautical theme. In maritime tradition, “starboard” is the right side of the vessel - a guiding principle for our mission: to do the right thing and help amplify diverse voices in institutional investment.
Just as every voyage requires a skilled crew, TSJ will bring together thought leaders, investors, and asset class experts to navigate new markets, refine capital allocation strategies, and push the boundaries of institutional investing.
The Distinction
- TIDE Newsletter: The voice of yours truly, my reflections, my take on the industry.
- The Starboard Journal: A crew of expert perspectives on different asset classes. A living logbook of insights shaping the seas of capital.
In a world awash with newsletters, TSJ will be unique - just like our conferences - by gathering many voices onto one deck and steering towards a shared direction.
Launch Timeline:
- Q4 2025: Recruit contributors.
- Jan 2026: Design first issue.
- April 2026: Showcase TSJ at TIDE Lisbon.
