All buy-side passes are carefully vetted. If you register for a buy-side pass and do not qualify under our criteria (see below), your pass will be cancelled, and you may not be informed.
‘Buy-side’ firms are any end-user client with AUM on their books and do not have any trading clients. So buy–side firms are asset managers, hedge funds, mutual funds, insurance companies, pension funds, CTAs, and corporates.
Any firm that has trading clients of its own or trades on behalf of other asset managers - sell-side tier 1, 2, and 3 banks, broker dealers, prime brokers, prime of primes, ETF providers (including asset manager ETF issuers), outsourced trading desks, technology providers, platforms, and venues—does not fall into the definition of a ‘buy-side’ firm.
To qualify for a Buy Side VIP ticket, you must be of a suitable seniority. Qualifying ‘buy-side’ firms are any end-user clients with +250m AUM on their books and no trading clients – so buy-side firms are asset managers, hedge funds, wealth management firms, pension funds, corporates and insurance companies.
