Acorns of APAC - Singapore Emerging Manager Outreach 2019 | Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) | 27 June 2019 | J.P. Morgan Private Bank, 168 Robinson Road 17/F, Capital Tower, Singapore 068912

We welcome both AIMA and non-AIMA members who meet any of the following criteria to join us at this forum:
• Managers that are new to the industry (defined as < 1 year)
• Managers looking to start a fund
• Managers in their early stages of raising assets (with AUM < US$100m)

This event is part of AIMA’s initiative to support the growth of the fund management industry in Singapore and the region, so we have designed the forum to cover important considerations new managers may have. Topics covered will include the legal toolkit required for starting up a fund, working with service providers, and fund raising.
