About Excellence

Excellence in Asset Management brings together exclusively the top-performing managers we have reviewed in our research. This one-day conference will provide a platform for top money managers to demonstrate the merits of active investment management. In the morning keynote speakers will address the dovetailing of alternative and traditional asset management under its newfound institutional guise and look at the implications of this, with particular focus on whether fund managers can successfully make the transition into the hedge fund arena whilst continuing to manage long only portfolios. We will examine the current the implication of regulation, leverage and the proliferation of structure products, as well as looking at the extent of institutional participation and its future.

From mid-morning Excellence in Asset Management will offer investors the chance to hear the views and investment strategies of the world’s leading managers as defined by GFA’s unique fund ratings.

The event will feature over 40 managers in the two-streamed structured sessions, and the keynote speakers will be icons of the investment management world. Based on the huge success of last year’s event (400 attendees) as well as our inaugural event in 2001 (350 attendees), we are confident that this event will be more successful than last year because of its unique format. In previous years the event has been sponsored by GAM, Mezzacappa Management, Lazard, Credit Agricole, Optima Fund Management and Asset Alliance, among others.

The day will conclude with a gala dinner and spectacular cabaret at which we will present our 5 star funds with awards.
