The Institute for Private Investors heads to Dallas to wrap up 2024 at the IPI End of Year Forum.

Dallas is the leading banking, financial, and trade centre for the Southwest. Join us for two days to discuss investment opportunities and how to plan for the coming year. The IPI End of Year Forum offers access to influential leaders in both private and public markets, real estate, and wealth management, helping family offices and investors explore innovative strategies for portfolio diversification and family office best practices.

Forum Chair:

T. Dupree Scovell, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer, Woodbine; IPI Member

We are excited to welcome back Dupree to Chair our End of Year Forum again this year.

When Dupree’s father John Scovell and Ray Hunt met in 1971, a friendship was born. Soon after, Ray asked John to run his real estate company. It was a natural pairing and the beginning of an exciting business partnership. Since then, the Hunt family has invested in every Woodbine Development Corporation project for 44 years and counting.

T. Dupree Scovell is the managing partner and chief investment officer at Woodbine, a full-service real estate company that specializes in hospitality. He and his brother, King, work together as managing partners to lead the team, cast vision and provide strategic direction for the company. Dupree also oversees Woodbine’s acquisition platform and capital markets efforts, as well as Woodbine Legacy Investments, a private equity fund dedicated to the acquisition and development of upscale select-service and full-service branded and boutique hotels throughout the United States.

A few of the featured topics and speakers include:

Tax Considerations for Family Offices Under the New Regime
Abby Feinman, Partner, Private Wealth, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP and Saul Rudo, Partner and Chair, Transactional Tax Department, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP 

Potential changes in tax policies, including modifications to corporate tax and capital gains rates, as well as estate and gift exemptions, can have meaningful impact on after tax investment and business performance as well as estate tax planning. Family offices and ultra-high net worth investors should consider the potential effects of these changes on transactions involving business and family ownership, including both acquisitions and divestitures and other liquidity transactions. Connect with families and fellow investors to ensure you are well-positioned to protect and grow family wealth in an ever-evolving financial landscape.
