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 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.
The AYU Pitch Off
Can you pitch your fund to a panel of four expert allocators? In front of a room of other funds and allocators? In eight minutes?There can only be one winner of the AYU Pitch Off!
All fund attendees can apply to be in the pitch off on registration. AYU Pitch-off spot - £1000
