PRIVATE GATHERINGS
On your terms, with the team.
When an advisor or family office wants to introduce qualified clients to the Alto do Monte team in a confidential setting, we host bespoke private dinners — typically four to eight attendees, in a venue of the host's choosing.
A confidential dinner, hosted on your terms.
A Private Gathering is what it sounds like — a private dinner, organized at your initiative, hosted by Douro Invest with the Alto do Monte team present. There is no marketing, no press, no follow-up to attendees outside your consent. The conversation happens, and it stays in the room.
The format is bespoke. Four to eight attendees is typical. The venue is your choice — a private dining room at a club, a restaurant, or your home. We can recommend venues in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, or elsewhere in Canada, or we can host at a venue you suggest.
The team typically includes Arash Hashemi from Douro Invest and one Porto-based member of the Alto do Monte team — Rafael Fernandes, Alex Aleksanyan, or Adil Senhaji, depending on the topic and the depth of conversation you have in mind. AdM team members travel to Canada for these dinners; the relationship warrants the trip.
