Opal Group is proud to host our 8th Annual Family Office Winter Forum (virtual) taking place on March 23-24, 2021.

Discussions will cover a wide variety of investment topics including both traditional and alternative investment asset classes, including direct investing, impact investing, non-correlated assets, and many more.
