Gordon 'Grant' Curtis Selected to Moderate Opal Group's Private Equity Fast Track Panel

Newport, R.I., July 18-20, 2011

NEW YORK, June 1, 2011 — Executive Director & Portfolio Manager for CI Investments, Single Family Office, Ticino, Ch., Gordon "Grant" Curtis, will be moderating one of the most dynamic investment panels of the largest Family Office Event in North America.

Members of this panel include representatives from P2 Capital, VCFA Group, Paragon Capital and Elanus Capital. The relevant subjects that will be discussed concern the opportunistic aspects of participating in private equity and how that has led to some of the fastest and largest accumulations of wealth in recent history.

Companies such as Facebook boast valuations that now approach $100 Billion with purported growth prospects that can rank it among the top global corporations. The panel will delineate some of the key element highlights as to what situations are most attractive and why as well as what strategies may be used to participate.

Gordon "Grant" Curtis over the past decade has led CI Investments SFO into a formidable Family Wealth Office employing unique and different tactics in private equity and other instruments. They currently have an asset allocation of up to One Billion Euros from the family for deployment in mandate-approved investments.

Having grown from a very modest allocation to where it now is positioned, CI Investments SFO can be ranked as one of the top and most consistent performers across all family offices. A combination of global strategies and specific money management principles has given the office a consistent spot among the most attractive financial organizations relevant to its type.

As Gordon "Grant" Curtis states, "In addition to being one of the advisory board members for Opal Group for this mecca annual Family Office Event, I also look forward to traveling to Newport, R.I., home of the original America's Cup, for a short nostalgic regatta aboard one of the 12 Meter Class Boats prior to the Family Office Event."

Traveling 6,000 miles to go sailing is a strong statement; but even more impressive is the footprint of noted celebrities in the political arena, such as past speaker Henry Cisneros and current keynote speaker Professor Martin Feldstein, Member, President Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board and George F. Baker Professor of Economics, Harvard University.

Attendance is expected to surpass all previous years and Gordon "Grant" Curtis looks forward to this event and many more.
