About the Event

Discover the funds that drive return

Funds to Watch Autumn brings the human dimension of fund selection to the forefront, giving selectors the opportunity to discover more about up and coming, and evolving, funds and uncover insights that might not exist on a factsheet.

💡
Qualitative insight you can't get elsewhere Spot "up and coming" or evolving managers early before your peers and ask the questions that don't get answered in marketing materials
🤝
Direct access to fund managers Meet multiple fund managers face-to-face across two days, covering a diverse range of strategies - a much faster way to build a shortlist than reviewing factsheets alone
📋
CPD Certified All Investment Week conferences are certified, counting towards your professional development hours.
