Hedge FundsToday Forum back for a fourth year, bringing together managers, allocators, regulators and service providers from across the global hedge fund community for a day of candid, practical dialogue on where strategy and capital go next.
Why Now
The Middle East has quietly become a place where serious capital settles, not just passes through. Allocators are widening their mandates, regulatory frameworks continue to mature, and a growing number of managers are choosing to build here. Through changing rate cycles and shifting investor expectations, the region has held its footing — and the conversations that matter are increasingly happening in this room.
On the Agenda
Strategy — evolving approaches across volatility, rate cycles and changing investor demand
Capital & Allocation — access to private capital, institutional mandates, regional allocator participation
Operations & Growth — licensing, compliance, digital asset infrastructure, and scalable, resilient platforms
The day runs across keynotes, plenary sessions and closed-door roundtables, with networking built into the schedule rather than bolted on.
The strategy, capital and operating models behind a maturing hedge fund industry — across the Middle East, in 2026 and beyond.
