The PE Investor Relations Conference
27 April 2017, London
|
Arguably, private equity is better placed to take advantage of economic uncertainty, than other asset classes. Recent political events have created just such uncertainty. However, this uncertainty will worry investors hunting returns, investors in private funds will have difficult choices to make. These circumstances have created a buoyant market for fundraising. It will be up to IR teams to look further ahead and secure as much leverage in these good times as they can.

Welcome to our 6th PE IR Conference. In the past five years, the event has become the premier investor relations forum and has brought together several hundred IR professionals to discuss a wide range of issues, from fundraising to LP wants and wishes. As ever, the aim of this year's conference is to bring together all involved in investor relations to generate ideas that benefit everyone present. To facilitate this, we will recruit the most relevant speakers to share their recent experiences. This is an event for everybody with a stake in promoting their firm. |
The PE Investor Relations Conference
Utilizing the function to the fullest
12 December 2013, London
|
Welcome to our 5th Investor Relations Conference serving the investor relations community along with investors in and advisors to private equity, private infrastructure and private real estate including all who shape the relationship between GPs and LPs. Last year, the event drew over 130 delegates from all corners of the alternative assets universe to discuss all aspects of the investor - manager relationship and ultimately what more can be done to improve it. Delegates came away with new ideas for improving their investor relations. With LPs becoming more selective, much depends on soft factors when they decide where to allocate their money. Some of our best speakers from the past four years and some excellent new ones will discuss some of these factors and the ways they address them. |
The European Mid-Market PE Conference
Because smaller can be better
22 May 2013, London
|
This event has again brought together some of the best managers and gave delegates a chance to discuss and find solutions to some of the most pressing issues in mid-market private equity today. Delegates interacted with some of the best and most well known managers in their fields. The agenda covered the entire investment cycle, from fundraising to returning money to investors through topics like succession and differentiation. With their relaxed atmosphere, our conferences have gained a reputation for making it easy for delegates to network with everybody present. |
The PE Investor Relations Conference
IR is an increasing part of the business
13 December 2012, London
|
As investor relations grows in importance due to scarcer capital and greater LP demands, so does this event. As increasing numbers of GPs go on the fundraising trail and as simultaneously investors are reducing the number of relationships they enter into, fundraising will be one of the main topics this year. Along with discussing recent experiences, we will take a look at family offices as a source of capital. To make the event even more interactive, we are introducing workshops to let you discuss specific topics in as much detail as possible. We are keeping the friendly atmosphere many are familiar with and that has become somewhat of a trademark of our events and increasing the number of topics to widen the scope of our audience. This will be our biggest and best IR conference yet. |
The PE Investor Relations Conference
Refining the IR function to meet increasing expectations
8 December 2011, London
|
The competition for investors’ capital has been intensifying and with it the importance of investor relations has been steadily increasing. Many fund managers have put off fundraising waiting for a more favourable environment and a large number of funds are planning to come to market soon. Some will raise their funds quickly and easily, others will have a much harder time and a few are projected to fail. Having a good investor relations team will certainly help. This, our third investor relations conference will feature some of the best and most experienced IR professionals and LPs discussing the most topical issues facing investor relations teams today. Organizing the IR function, fundraising, LP reporting, AGMs, fund terms and LP preferences will all be discussed in an informal and interactive environment. |

The European Mid-Market PE Conference
An evolving business model
6 May 2010, London
“I enjoyed meeting fellow LPs, some for the first time, and discussing the mid-market with them and senior GPs. What really set this conference apart from others was its informality and interactivity. Many people were ready to chip in from the audience resulting in interesting feedback and a broad point of view. It was an excellent event and I am hoping to come next year.”
Robert Mason, Head, PE Investments, Lord North Street
