LAS VEGAS—REISA, the trade association serving the alternative investment and securities industry, revealed today its Board of Directors voted unanimously to change the organization's name to the Alternative and Direct Investment Securities Association also known as ADISA.
The new name was unveiled at ADISA's 2014 Annual Conference at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, attended by nearly 1,000 alternative investment professionals and more than 70 exhibitors. ADISA's membership and events have grown by more than 20% in the past two years, according to ADISA staff.
“The change to Alternative and Direct Investment Securities Association better reflects our organization's mission and what we provide to the alternative investment industry,” says ADISA executive director and CEO, John Harrison. “Our association represents thousands of individuals in alternative investments from all types and sectors, and we strive to provide the best education, networking and advocacy for these professionals.”
Harrison adds “Founded in 2003 as TICA, the organization grew beyond a single investment product type (tenant-in-common programs) to broader real estate based products, and was given the name REISA. REISA's new name, ADISA, shows the evolution to handling even more areas of investment products.”
ADISA influences more than 20,000 professionals who offer and manage alternative investments, such as non-traded REITs, private placement programs, oil and gas interests, securitized real estate investments, BDCs and more. Members include sponsors/issuers, broker-dealers, registered representatives, investment advisers, registered investment advisers, due diligence officers, accountants, mortgage bankers, institutional lenders and others. The organization promotes education, networking and advocacy, and connects members directly to key industry experts through intimate forums providing timely trends and education that help create a diversified portfolio for members' clients.
