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 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.
Select 2024 begins at 9am on Tuesday 18 June and finishes after lunch on Wednesday 19 June. The agenda comprises both main platform and boardroom sessions as well as a networking dinner.
Delegates will hear from fund manager speakers from the sponsoring groups on the main platform which focuses on themes, markets and the big-picture. They will also participate in 45-minute boardroom presentations, with senior fund managers, which devle deeper into strategy specifics. 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 2024.
External speakers complement those from the sponsoring groups and include a fascinating mix of macro, industry, leadership and inspirational presenters. In June 2024, we are looking forward to hearing from:
