Summary
EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants announced that Managing Principal Mike Klaschka will participate in a panel discussion on financial risk management at a DC Alternative Investment Consortium event, addressing a specialized audience of investors and fund managers focused on alternative assets. The presentation underscores the industry's continued emphasis on comprehensive risk assessment as alternative investment strategies grow in complexity and scale.
Klaschka, a managing principal at EPIC's New York office with more than 26 years of professional experience, brings established credibility as a negotiator in the professional liability marketplace. He will be joined by Mark Lapolla, founder of Sixth Man Research, with the discussion moderated by Kirk Rostron of Mt. Vernon Capital. The three-panelist format reflects the collaborative approach increasingly common at institutional investment forums where cross-functional expertise enhances depth of analysis.
The panel's agenda focuses on four interconnected risk dimensions central to alternative investment management. Portfolio risk addresses asset allocation and concentration dynamics; operational risk encompasses infrastructure, compliance, and execution controls; market risk covers systematic and idiosyncratic exposures; and personnel risk examines key-person dependencies and organizational continuity. This framework is particularly relevant for hedge funds, private equity platforms, and other alternative vehicles where operational transparency and risk governance directly influence institutional capital allocation decisions.
The DC-AIC event, scheduled for Tuesday, November 7th at 4:30 p.m. at The Army and Navy Club in Washington, D.C., serves as a hub for knowledge exchange among regional investment professionals. As the alternative investment industry continues to mature, such forums provide essential opportunities for practitioners to align on emerging risk priorities and best practices with peers managing substantial capital in specialized strategies.
