Welcome

The Select conference brings together the UK's top advisers and investment professionals with a host of leading asset managers to discuss current and pertinent investment issues. In an ever challenging and changing marketplace, Select gathers experts from a wide range of investment areas and asset classes to share insights, discuss strategies and consider how we can meet customer needs.

The event comprises a mix of main platform and boardroom sessions from inspiring external presenters and fund manager speakers, delivering education and thought leadership as well as in-depth analysis.

Select is further enhanced by the outstanding conference facilities provided by the Four Seasons in Hampshire, which help create an environment in which speakers, sponsors and delegates alike cut through the noise and put the spotlight on tomorrow's investment opportunities.

Agenda

Select 2025 begins at 9am on Tuesday 17 June and finishes after lunch on Wednesday 18 June. The agenda comprises both main platform and boardroom sessions as well as a networking dinner.

Speakers

Delegates will attend all main platform presentations where each sponsor will give a presentation on macro issues and trends. Delegates will also participate in a 35-minute boardroom presentation with a senior fund manager speaker from each sponsoring group. These sessions are held in smaller, more intimate groups to facilitate in-depth analysis and discussion.

Fund manager speaker details will be announced in early 2025.

External Speakers

External speakers complement those from the sponsoring groups and include a fascinating mix of macro, industry, leadership and inspirational presenters.
