Beyond Buy & Hold: Private Dinner for Investors in DIFC

Beyond Buy & Hold is a closed-table dinner for active investors and capital allocators in DIFC on Thursday 22 October 2026, from 7pm to 9:30pm. Hosted by Alex Ostapovskyi, founder and CEO of Botty, it explores systematic strategies that aim to profit from market volatility. Entry is free, subject to approval, and seats are very limited.

About the dinner

Instead of predicting price direction, the evening looks at systematic approaches that sit between simply holding, active trading and handing money to a manager: how they work, where returns come from, how they behave in drawdowns and how to manage risk with significant capital. The discussion uses strategies running on live capital, not just backtests, and covers diversifying a crypto-heavy portfolio across crypto and equities. Featured guests include Morgan Zhang, Silvia Mogas and Suzanne Pace.

Who it is for

• Crypto investors looking to diversify
• High-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth investors with crypto exposure
• Founders, early crypto investors, family offices and wealth managers
