After more than a decade on Wall Street, Landon started his own Hedge Fund/Asset Management firm to offer a productive investment management process and a quality client experience.  They are focused on Global Macro strategies, all four major asset classes on financial exchanges t/o the globe, and invest long and short. Using a variety of factors, they invest with a "Top Down" perspective, and select both markets and individual companies.  Landon offers some contrarian and very interesting approaches to asset management which every investor will want to hear. We feel sorry for anyone asked to debate Landon.  His comments and postions are compelling and we are sure that any investor will appreciate hearing them.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), which was formerly known as Socially Responsible Investing, is designed to align the investors values with their portfolios. As a leader and one of the early adopters of SRI/ESG investing, Gabelli's ESG Strategy uses measures of ESG to determine where to invest.  Moving from "Negative Screening" to being forward looking, the industry has developed metrics to measure the performance and committment of companies worldwide in key areas of sustainability, environment, socially advantageous activities, et al.  This ecosystem of information has allowed ESG focused strategies to more confidently identify those companies that are more worthy of support by investors with particular values and views. Having spent years in this industry, Christina discusses the changes in this industry.  Very interesting interview for any investor, as this is a growing and ever more popular segment of the investment world.

Ray discusses the opportunities of private credit thru real estate bridge loans. Partnering with lenders throughout the country, AlphaFlow purchases existing real estate bridge loans of 6-12 months in duration, with 80-90 different loans in a pool for investors.  Most of these loans are to "Flippers" who purchase homes, renovate/rehab them, then sell them.  For Accredited Investors only, they raise funds from institutional investors and private, retail investors.   Any investor looking for higher than market yields (who isn't?) will find this to be very interesting.
