Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
It's another new era of digital and marketers are faced with making big bets on their digital strategy. If you are looking at modernizing your tech stack to support your digital evolution, there are a few can't miss (often overlooked) areas that should be part of every conversation. We'll cover setting your vision, avoiding siloes, adding a democratized approach to data strategy, localization, creating critical governance requirements and more. Attendees will walk away with actions they can take into initiatives they are running today and consider for the future.
For too many years marketing and sales have operated in silos...while in some forward thinking companies, the two organizations work together to drive new opportunity development and revenue. This session will explore the lessons learned in that beautiful dance that can occur when marketing and sales work together...to drive new opportunity development, account expansion and customer satisfaction.
No, this is not a conversation about MQLs and SQLs. Instead we will focus on a framework that allows the two organizations to drive company success together.
The digital marketing industry is changing faster than ever and those who don’t adapt with the times are losing market share. Where should marketers be focusing their efforts? What strategies are the experts seeing get the best results? Get up-to-speed with the latest industry insights, trends and predictions for the future in this panel discussion with some leading digital marketing experts.

RISK DISCLOSURE
The Fund’s historical performance is net of all fees and expenses. Current year returns are preliminary and subject to change due to any revisions from the year‐end audit. Net returns have been calculated after all
costs and expenses, including any incentive performance fee. A partner’s net return may vary from other partners’ net returns due to timing of capital additions and withdrawals in the Funds.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. All investments involve risk, including the loss of principal. Investors should be aware that the referenced benchmarked indexes may have a different
composition, volatility, risk, investment philosophy, holding times, and/or other investment‐related factors that may affect the benchmark indexes ultimate performance results. Therefore, an investor's individual returns
may vary significantly from the benchmark's performance. The Funds have the ability to use margin, leverage, options, shorts and other strategies that are not used by or reflected by the indexes provided for
comparison purposes.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the strategy carefully before investing. Aggressive growth stocks may be more susceptible to earnings disappointments, and the
market may not favor aggressive growth-style investing. Investments in small and/or midsize companies increase the risk of greater price fluctuations. Stock prices may fall or fail to rise over time for several reasons,
including general financial market conditions and factors related to a specific issuer or industry. Investors can lose money by investing in the strategy. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and
there can be no assurance that any specific investment will either be suitable or profitable for a client's investment portfolio. The Funds may be subject to greater price volatility than less concentrated portfolios. An
investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk. An investor may lose all or a significant portion of its investment.

FOR SLIDE 18: PERFORMANCE
Maximum Drawdown is he peak-to-trough decline during a specific record period of an investment, fund or commodity. A drawdown is usually quoted as the percentage between the peak and the
trough.
Peak to Valley. A fund or money manager's largest cumulative percentage decline in net asset value. It is defined as the percentage decline from the fund's highest net asset value (peak) to the
lowest net asset value (trough) after the peak. Funds that have been in existence for long periods of time may have a number of peak-to-valley drawdowns over various time periods.
Sharpe Ratio uses standard deviation to measure a portfolio’s risk-adjusted returns. The higher a portfolio’s Sharpe Ratio, the better the portfolio’s returns have been relative to the risk it has
taken.
Sortino Raito is a modification of the Sharpe ratio that differentiates harmful volatility from general volatility by taking into account the standard deviation of negative asset returns, called downside
deviation. The Sortino ratio subtracts the risk-free rate of return from the portfolio’s return, and then divides that by the downside deviation. A large Sortino ratio indicates there is a low probability
of a large loss.
Calmar Ratio is a comparison of the average annual compounded rate of return and the maximum drawdown risk of commodity trading advisors and hedge funds. The lower the Calmar Ratio, the
worse the investment performed on a risk-adjusted basis over the specified time period; the higher the Calmar Ratio, the better it performed. Generally speaking, the time period used is three
years, but this can be higher or lower based on the investment in question
Standard Deviation measures the volatility of the fund’s returns. Higher deviation represents higher volatility.
Downside deviation considers only returns that fall below a defined minimum acceptable return rather than arithmetic mean. R Squared values range from 0 to 100. A fund with a low R Squared
(70 or less) does not act much like the Index.
Mean Return Mea attempts to quantify the relationship between the risk of a portfolio of securities and its return. It assumes that while investors have different risk tolerances, rational investors
will always seek the maximum rate of return for every level of acceptable risk. It is the mean, or expected, return that investors try to maximize at each level of risk.
