REISA, a US trade association serving the alternative investment and securities industry, is changing its name to the Alternative and Direct Investment Securities Association (ADISA).
"The change to Alternative and Direct Investment Securities Association better reflects our organisation's mission and what we provide to the alternative investment industry," says ADISA executive director/chief executive 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.
ADISA influences more than 20,000 professionals who offer and manage alternative investments, such as non-traded REITs, private placement programmes, oil and gas interests, securitised 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 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.
