RIA Channel Webcast - SPACs: The $100B Misunderstood Asset Class

Watch On Demand: RIA Channel

2020 was dubbed the “Year of the SPAC” raising $83B in issuance. This year we’ve already eclipsed that mark with over $100B issued. This growth is enough to raise eyebrows and attention from retail investors to SEC regulators.

The spotlight and recent scrutiny on Special Purpose Acquisition Corporations (SPACs) is warranted, but to fully grasp the true story and total potential, advisors need an understanding of their unique underlying features and operating structure – then how to invest in them, attract clients with them, and grow AUM as a result.
