Capital Pathways
Now in its fourth edition, Hedge Funds Today brings together managers, allocators and service providers from across the global hedge fund community to examine where strategy, capital and opportunity head next. As the Middle East matures into a serious hub for alternative investment, the programme spans macro pressures, licensing and compliance, access to private capital, and the platforms managers need to scale. The room is made up of people who allocate, build and shape the industry.
