Workshop for Buy-Side, Sell-Side and Legal Professionals with Day-to-Day Exposure
We invite you to join us for an engaging discussion on current trends and developments in asset management, with a particular focus on the early stages of a new venture. Following an introduction from Sidley partner Stephen Ross, our speakers will dive into the topics that are top of mind for industry participants — including smart practices around fundraising and term sheets — and discuss projections for the road ahead, on the heels of a challenging year for managers but one that nonetheless presents expanding opportunities. The session will conclude with a Q&A, followed by networking over canapés and drinks.
