Welcome to the brand new edition of FundForum International 2019. Gathering 1500+ of today’s most significant and influential men and women representing the future of investment management.

From asset allocators with investment decisions more influential than governments’, to inspired asset management CEOs, CIOs, COOs and an eclectic cohort of passionate next generation innovators at the frontline of building a new asset intelligence – we have the lot.

We promise you an energised experience you cannot simply Google; a wealth of top-level global connections you cannot find online and a quality of relationship-building, deal-making conversations you cannot find on a call or email.

Where the crème de la crème of Europe’s asset allocator community gathers: one place, one time

Over the last few years FundForum International has emerged as the preferred destination for top asset owners, fund buyers and family offices.

With 300+ institutional and wealth management firms represented every year, we can confirm leaders such Niklas Ekvall, CEO, AP4, to Olivier Rousseau, CEO, FFR or Mirko Cardinale, Investment Strategist, USS.

"Our new structure follows clear storylines of innovation, mega trends and five function-focussed tracks over four days – leaving you free to pick, choose and interweave the ideas, people and places you need."

Moreover, top wholesale influencers who will also be coming along this year include such stars as Hans Georgsen, CEO, AXA Architas; Andrew Summers, Head of Collectives, INVESTEC and top private banking selector heads such as Mussie Kidane, PICTET (click here for more details.)

"Over the last few years FundForum International has emerged as the preferred destination for top asset owners, fund buyers and family offices."

Find out what allocators and customers demand from us when mega-trends collide

It is no accident that we are based in Scandinavia this year, taking our intellectual cue from the Nordic reputation for innovative thinking about the inter-relationship between society, environment, technology and the wider economy.

With challenging future growth predictions for millions of savers, stretched funding of public health and financial-wellbeing systems, increasing longevity and pressing issues of climate change.
