New Strategies. New Clients. New Revenues.

Over the past decade, investors and distributors have become comfortable with mutual funds, PMS and AIFs — each serving a distinct need. Yet, in between these well-established categories, a clear gap has existed, for a regulated, transparent structure that allows more sophisticated strategies without the complexity or high entry barriers of traditional alternatives.

Specialised Investment Funds (SIFs) are designed to fill that gap.

They allow more flexibility in strategy, sharper positioning and better portfolio outcomes - while staying within a regulated, transparent framework. For investors and distributors, this creates a very real opportunity- new solutions to offer, new clients to engage and new revenue streams to build.

But a new category also brings questions

• What exactly is an SIF?
• How is it different from what we already sell?
• Which strategies work?
• Where does it fit in a client portfolio?
• And most importantly — how do you explain and sell it confidently?

This conference has been designed to answer those questions in a practical way.

Through the day, we will break down the structure and rules of SIFs, explain the various strategy options across equity, debt and hybrid approaches and hear directly from fund managers and CIOs on how these strategies behave in real markets. We will also focus heavily on application — model portfolios, real-life case studies, client conversations and the operational aspects of running this as a business.

The objective is simple- you should walk out with clarity and conviction knowing which clients to approach, how to position SIFs and how to use them effectively.

If you advise serious investors, SIFs deserve your attention. We hope you will join us for a day of learning, discussion and actionable insights.
