HedgeBrunch

The reimagination of hedge fund and family office networking events.

Founded and backed by hedge fund professionals, HedgeBrunch originated in London and is AYU’s older sibling. HedgeBrunch was born from an overwhelming need for connecting the alternative investment community effectively and enjoyably. Founded in 2013, HedgeBrunch reimagined family office and hedge fund networking events in London and across the globe.

In 2020 HedgeBrunch became part of AYU, and brought with it its love of connecting like minded professionals on a personal level, no name badges, no suits, just good people.

HedgeBrunch primarily served as a hub for professionals in the hedge fund and alternative investment sectors. It offered a combination of networking opportunities bringing together family offices and hedge funds, investment news, market analysis and an exciting array of luxury lifestyle articles, reviews and events.

Key features and content on HedgeBrunch included:

1. News and Analysis: HedgeBrunch provided news articles, analyses, and insights related to hedge funds, alternative investments, and broader financial markets. This content covered market trends, regulatory developments, thought leadership articles and other relevant topics.

2. Events: HedgeBrunch organised and promoted events such as conferences and seminars to ski trips and shooting days. These events would bring together investment professionals and family office personnel in the alternatives industry for knowledge sharing, cap intro, and networking opportunities.

3. Networking: The network facilitated networking among finance professionals through various channels, including online forums, social media, and in-person events.

4. Interviews and Features: HedgeBrunch featured interviews with industry experts, profiles of hedge fund managers, and other in-depth content to provide insights into the personalities and strategies driving the sector.

It was the network that grew from HedgeBrunch events that inspired AYU. The advantage of a supportive, welcoming network of global hedge fund managers and family offices proved to be of huge benefit. Having all these contacts at your fingertips on AYU Connect - our custom built private messaging platform and at regular, free AYU events across the world meant the AYU membership grew and grew.
