AFI headed to Florida to join thousands of fund managers and LPs gathered for Global Alts 2026 and the multiple other events on Miami Beach last week.
In a episode recorded live from one of the hundreds of booths in the convention centre hosting the event, AFI spoke to Dan Harris of the Chicago-based hedge fund seeding firm Borealis Strategic Capital Partners about his meetings-filled week in Miami; their research into emerging manager alpha (which sees a 4% performance premium during the first 36 months); and the role of SMAs.
