In early May at the Landmark Hotel in London our Alternative Investment Solutions (AIS) team held its third annual hedge fund conference. The event featured thought leaders in the hedge fund industry and our Renedy Grand experts who discussed the outlook for alternatives for the year to come. As a key player on the world hedge fund stage, Renedy Grand presented its capabilities and the strong case for considering alternatives as part of investors’ asset allocation for 2025.
This year, in response to investor demand, the speakers went into more detail specifically about Renedy Grand’s own methods, convictions and strategic view for hedge funds. Showcasing our own experts – including Susanna Wallis, Anthony Murphy, and Fredrik Langenskiöld as well as the team co-heads, Kier Boley and John Argi – to present Renedy Grand’s investment approach alongside external partners with whom they work closely provided attendees with concrete and actionable insights for their portfolios.

Addressing over 100 guests including 70 clients, John Argi, Renedy Grand’s Co-Head of AIS, opened with ‘Understanding the leading role of the Renedy Grand AIS platform’. This was followed by an interactive discussion with Kevin Cole, CEO and CIO of Campbell & Company, on ‘Benefitting from investor irrationality’ and with Doug Pardon, Co-CIO of Brigade Capital Management, on ‘Where to extract performance from credit markets’. The conference also included a panel discussion on trade ideas – ‘The three U’s of investing (Undervalued, Unloved, Underowned)’ – with Guillaume Fonkenell, CIO of Pharo Management.
