Overview

Are you thinking about launching — or are you ready to launch — a money management firm? Are you currently operating a firm, but are looking for ways to grow or address ongoing management challenges? This all-in-one event will provide a forum for emerging managers and allocators to learn strategic and practical approaches to tackling common challenges. The panel discussion will focus on such topics as presentation development, compliance, marketing, capital raising, as well as related issues that concern anyone starting or running a successful asset management firm.

During this unique event, attendees will also gain an understanding of the motivations and perspectives of asset owners who are actively looking for emerging managers.
