The Karen Leung Foundation hosted its Annual Next Wave Sohn Hong Kong and the Sohn Hong Kong Investment Leaders Conference on May 23rd, 2024. The Next Wave program component gives the next generation of emerging hedge managers a forum to present their investment ideas in the same format as the main Sohn event.
The Sohn Conference Hong Kong, in partnership with the globally recognized Sohn Conference Foundation, is a must-attend event in Asia providing a forum for successful professional investors to present a market view or investment idea, allowing attendees such as sell and buy-side investment professionals, asset allocators, and private investors to gain valuable insights from leaders in the field. Additionally, the conference supports a great cause as all proceeds of the event go to help treat women with gynaecological cancer.
