Focused and designed for operational leaders
Why COOs attend
Last year’s sessions explored multi-manager mayhem, the Billion Dollar Club barbell effect and optimising vendor management — giving COOs the chance to benchmark strategy and stress-test ideas with peers. Each year the programme is shaped around real operational priorities, ensuring COOs leave with immediately actionable insight to strengthen their firm’s competitive edge.
Why CTOs attend
In 2025, the agenda focused on AI today: practical applications, shifting tech-tonics and navigating the AI evolution. CTOs joined to compare notes on vendor selection, prioritisation and cyber resilience, and to hear how peers were applying technology decisions that drive firm-wide impact. The 2025 programme will again dig into the future direction of hedge fund technology.
Why General Counsel & CCOs attend
Last year’s regulatory roundup, sessions on off-channel communications and debates around outsourcing gave GCs and CCOs a practical platform to hear how others were interpreting and applying regulation. The Summit continues to provide a confidential setting where legal and compliance heads can exchange lessons learned and prepare for what’s next.
Why CFOs attend
In 2025, CFOs benefited from discussions on vendor resilience, cost pressures, and the squeeze on mid-sized managers. These peer-led conversations gave them new perspective on risk, capital allocation and financial strategy. Each year, the programme ensures CFOs leave with practical takeaways to support firm-wide decision-making and growth.
