AIMA’s 2021 Global Policy & Regulatory Forum, taking place virtually, will offer participants an unparalleled insight into key themes in policymaking and supervision relevant to the hedge fund community. Over the course of the half-day event, attendees will hear from industry practitioners and policymakers, gaining an in-depth perspective on how they should be thinking about the regulatory environment in the coming months and years. It will cover developments relating to AIFMD, sustainable finance and ESG, short-selling, market structure and more besides. The event will be fully interactive, with opportunities to ask questions of speakers.

Condensed to one half-day, the Forum will feature a mix of panel discussions, interviews and briefing sessions from policymakers and industry experts.
