Azora Capital LP

We are honored to have support from Paul J. Magahis and Azora Capital LP. Their sponsorship enables us to continue our work to promote DEI within the investment industry. Azora Capital is a Miami-based hedge fund founded in 2016 by Ravi Chopra, who serves as its Chief Investment Officer. The firm employs a fundamental long/short equity strategy with a focus on the U.S. financial services sector, investing across a broad range of financial subsectors beyond traditional banks. Azora Capital manages over $1 billion in discretionary assets for a diverse client base, including high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors. Thank you Azora and the entire team!

While some have retreated from DEI, others have stood firm. In a time when many organizations have scaled back their diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, a few have stayed the course—and even doubled down. On behalf of the TIDE Tribe, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the companies that continue to champion equity and belonging, not because it's trending, but because it's right. Your unwavering support fuels our mission, uplifts underrepresented voices, and reminds us all that real progress takes courage. - The Investment Diversity Exchange (TIDE) Titanium Edelweiss Financial Services Limited Pretium TPG Platinum Barings Cerberus Capital Management Fin Capital Nordic Capital Gold 400 Capital Management LLC ACORE CAPITAL Moneta Ventures New York Life Investments Palladium Equity Partners, LLC Silver Alphemy Capital SA EisnerAmper Goldman Sachs Asset Management GrowthCurve Capital Impax Asset Management Lucid Management and Capital Partners LP StepStone Group Bronze AE Industrial Partners, LP Brightwood Capital Brinley Partners Broad Street Consulting Group Deerpath Capital EQT Group New Catalyst Strategic Partners Supporters Aberdeen AVANT BIO Azora Capital LP Balbec Capital LP Blue Owl Capital Charlesbank Capital Partners Igneo Infrastructure Partners Principal Asset Management Stable Tabor Asset Management, LP

Speaker Feature We are excited to feature Allison Reilly at our inaugural NYC event on October 3rd. Allison is the Head of Investor Relations at Azora Capital LP. Prior to joining Azora, she was the Regional Director at Lik Fine Art, overseeing four fine art galleries on the east coast. From 2005 to 2008, Allison owned a commercial art gallery, Allison Corey Fine Art. Allison graduated from SUNY – Stony Brook in 2003 and received her M.B.A. from NYU – Stern, in 2017.

Absolute return strategies have been a constant for some, but for others, they have come back into focus given a prolonged higher rate environment, prospects for increased dispersion and breadth, and the potential for more acute volatility and regime changes. How do allocators and managers build and manage resilient, long-term oriented portfolios as these meaningful shifts occur? The Investment Diversity Exchange (TIDE) panel on absolute return, featuring Raj Kohli, CFA from University Pension Plan Ontario, Ravi Chopra of Azora Capital LP and Jorge de Lafuente from Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company, tackled these questions and plenty more. They were brilliant and gracious in sharing their views of the opportunity set, regulatory environments and diversity at this year's SPARK conference (and made my job as moderator incredibly easy). Thanks to everyone who joined us!
