🚀 The future of finance, space, AI, and cybersecurity—unpacked! Attendees at AIMA Innovation Day this week learnt: 1️⃣ Quantum computing could supercharge financial markets like never before! Imagine faster trade optimisations, sharper risk profiling, and next-level fraud detection. The future of finance may be quantum-powered! 2️⃣ Look up! 🌌 The space sector may be the next investment frontier. VC and PE firms are partnering with governments to explore new galaxies of opportunity. From satellites to asteroid mining, the race is on—and it's not just for astronauts! 🚀 3️⃣ AI and digital transformation might revolutionise alternative investments. Whether speeding up due diligence or unlocking new ways to optimise portfolios, investors are trying to leverage AI to stay ahead of the curve. 🤖 4️⃣ Cybersecurity regulations are tightening, and the ripple effects are huge! 🌊 For alternative investment managers, these new rules mean more than compliance—they reshape how technology providers must operate to keep systems secure. The stakes? Trust, resilience, and the future of your investments. #QuantumFinance #SpaceInvesting #Innovation #AIMAevents

New hedge fund research alert! Standing Strong: Emerging Manager Survey 2024, the fourth report by AIMA and Marex on hedge fund managers running up to $500 million and the investors that allocate to them, explains how the next generation of managers are remaining competitive and attract capital. https://lnkd.in/gXwY-9Mn Key findings from the report include: 1️⃣ Against a macro backdrop of rising costs, the average breakeven point has increased since the last report in 2022. 2️⃣ The average management and performance fees of emerging managers are well below the classic 2&20 model. 3️⃣ Investors are more likely to have placed their latest allocation with a new hedge fund manager than were in 2022. Discover more intriguing data and in-depth industry insights in the full report.

AIMA's first Innovation Day conference is nearly over. Here are some of the top takeaways from the day. 1️⃣ Asset raising: Technology is already playing an essential role in streamlining the due diligence process – but there's more to do to champion the adoption of new tools and technology that can support asset raising. 2️⃣ RegTech: Increasingly prescriptive rules and regulation – as well as divergence of rulesets across regions - have made compliance a far greater challenge. This is a significant factor underlying the growth in RegTech, where firms focus on reducing reporting costs. 3️⃣ Investment process: Once the preserve of those with computer science backgrounds, coding is now much more accessible to staff in portfolio management and trading roles, given various new tools available in the market. Will this change the skillset necessary to succeed in the industry? Thank you to all speakers, attendees, and members, and a special thank you to our sponsors, for making this event a success. AIMA events are coming thick and fast. Find the AIMA events calendar in the comments below. #AIMAevents #ai #technology #alternativeinvestments

AIMA highlights the importance of a competitive taxation regime for the competitiveness of UK as a global asset management centre In response to the UK Treasury on the tax treatment of carried interest, AIMA made the following points: 1️⃣ An unfavourable taxation regime will weaken the UK as an asset management centre and its ability to obtain international investment for the broader UK economy. 2️⃣ A tax regime which imposes requirements that do not recognise the realities of common fund structures is unlikely to succeed. 3️⃣ Any changes to the treatment of carried interest should be principles-based, easy to implement and apply consistently across different funds or strategies. Commenting on the submission, AIMA CEO Jack Inglis said: #carriedinterest #tax #uktreasury
