Conferences
This year we united our two conferences that focus on the small, emerging, and diverse manager community into one flagship event: Consortium 2023. 2023 marked Consortium’s 20th Anniversary, and we celebrated in style by drawing from each event’s best content to provide attendees with a top-flight program and a memorable experience.
Consortium encourages attendees to connect, learn from each other, share resources, and do business together."
Consortium
Throughout its 20-year history, Consortium’s goal has been to help educate and expose institutional investors and their consultants to the value proposition of investing with diverse and women investment managers.
Who attended?
- Institutional Investors, consultants and diverse and women managers
Why did they attend?
- LPs gained exposure to unknown managers and participated in peer-to-peer information exchange
- GPs received small group coaching from LPs and "bootcamp" style training
SEM
Throughout its 16-year history, SEM focused on showcasing small, emerging, and diverse investment managers and making them more accessible to institutional investors.
Who attended?
- Small, emerging, diverse, and women investment managers, interested investors and their consultants
Why did they attend?
- GPs received training and heard LPs' perspectives on key issues
- LPs got "first look" exposure to managers and received an update on the small, emerging, and diverse manager market
A diverse and inclusive industry is better for everyone. It is good for a lot of reasons, but mainly because we believe it drives investment returns."
