Operational due diligence (ODD) and fund operations are taking center stage as allocators increasingly scrutinize how alternative investment managers run their businesses behind the scenes. Uncorrelated AltsOps 2026, a B2i Digital Featured Conference hosted by Uncorrelated Alts, will bring investment managers, allocators, and select industry providers to Club 101, 101 Park Avenue in New York City, on Thursday, October 29, 2026, for a full day dedicated to these critical topics.
The event matters because it directly addresses what allocators examine before committing capital. As David Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer of B2i Digital, Inc., noted, “The ones that last are run well behind the scenes, and that’s what this day is about. Allocators, family offices and private wealth in one room saying what they check before they commit.” This emphasis on operational resilience reflects a broader shift in the alternative investment industry, where solid infrastructure and transparent processes are no longer back-office afterthoughts but key differentiators for fund managers seeking to attract and retain investors.
The agenda covers a range of pressing issues, from attracting anchor and early-stage investors to allocating to alternatives through private placement life insurance and private placement variable annuities. A session on building a massive advantage with AI, led by Angelo Robles of SFO Continuity and Billionaire Mastermind, underscores how technology is reshaping fund operations. The family office perspective on alts and ODD essentials—what allocators look for before they invest—will provide actionable insights for managers and investors alike. Later sessions will explore diamond supply-chain finance as an uncorrelated return stream and how to partner with service providers to grow a fund.
Geoff Marcus, CEO and Co-Founder of Uncorrelated Alts, emphasized the event’s practical value: “Operations is where allocators separate the funds they back from the ones they pass on, and AltsOps puts both sides in one room for a day.” This direct engagement between managers and allocators is designed to foster better understanding of the operational standards required in today’s competitive landscape.

The conference’s implications extend beyond a single day. As private wealth increasingly moves into alternatives, as highlighted in the closing session “Early Innings: Private Wealth’s Move Into Alternatives,” the need for robust operational frameworks and thorough due diligence will only grow. By convening managers, allocators, and service providers, Uncorrelated AltsOps 2026 aims to set a benchmark for operational excellence and help shape the next wave of alternative investment allocations.
