The AYU Emerging Manager Conference
A boutique conference in London, connecting a highly select group of emerging manager hedge funds and early stage investors.
The inaugural 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, one-two-one pitch and surgery sessions and the first ever AYU Pitch-Off a Dragon’s Den style fund-pitch competition.
Attendance at The AYU EMC is purposefully limited to one hundred 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 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.
Fund Tables
Funds are invited to book a dedicated table for lunch “hosting” and
1-2-1 pitch meetings during our dedicated sessions.
