Testimonials from previous participants
"Great presenters with interesting, real case studies that bring concepts to life and help you think about all the different considerations where there are no binary answers. It was very interesting learning about the different investment and portfolio management philosophies and toolkits / playbooks that each GP uses. The team were also very hospitable throughout the program and chose great locations for dinners that really set up a vibrant atmosphere to connect with others - these 'small' things that may go unnoticed made the program special."
"I thought the course was very well run and will be recommending it to all of our new associates."
"Three great speakers, great content and a great way to network with others."
