"SWAP represents a pivotal opportunity for our Partner Firms to deepen their understanding of the alternative investment landscape," said Mr. McGowan. "With projections indicating a potential $20 trillion influx of capital into the alternative space in the coming years, it's crucial that our Partner Firms are well equipped to navigate and capitalize on these opportunities for our clients."
