The AYU Emerging Manager Conference is a boutique all-day event, focused on hedge fund launch and growth success.
Hosted in partnership with Jersey Finance, the conference will combine a range of insightful talks and discussions with start-ups experts, multiple networking opportunities, and the AYU Pitch-Off - a Dragon’s Den style fund-pitch competition.
Attendance at The AYU EMC is purposefully limited to 80 participants only, with only a handful of select service providers permitted access. We’ve taken time to design the event like this to create as much value as possible for attendees.
Starting a hedge fund is hard and expensive. Finding the best start-up managers to invest in is also hard and expensive. We hope to make both of those tasks a little smoother and more achievable.
We are strategy agnostic at this event, our only guiding principle is that we define an emerging manager as one running under $500m. All strategies are welcome, including those in the rapidly developing digital asset space.
