Building on a record breaking year
In February 2025, the Hedge Fund COO Summit | APAC celebrated its 15th anniversary with its largest edition to date. Over 290 senior executives gathered for two days of peer-led discussion, high-level networking, and standout experiences that set a new standard for hedge fund events in the region.

Building on that momentum, the Summit returns in January 2026 with a renewed focus on the conversations that matter, offering senior leaders a trusted space to connect, exchange ideas, and navigate the future of hedge fund operations in APAC.
