Investment Management and Funds Academy 2026
Following the success of our UK Investment Management & Funds Academy, we were delighted to bring this dynamic, full-day experience to Australia on 5 March 2026.
Designed for professionals across investment management, finance, legal, and strategy roles, this immersive program gave participants a practical walk through the full lifecycle of an investment fund.
The sessions were fast paced, hands on, and grounded in real scenarios. Together, we explored how a fund gets started, structured, and promoted, the key terms that shape how it operates, how deals come together, and how liquidity and closings are managed.
It was great to see so many people sharing ideas, asking thoughtful questions, and connecting with others across the sector. If you attended the day, we'd love to hear from you on what your enjoyed and anything we could improve for next year.
