All buy side passes are carefully vetted. If you register for a buy side pass and do not qualify as buy side under our criteria (see below), your pass *will* be cancelled and you may not be informed.
Qualifying ‘buy-side’ firms are any end-user clients with +250m AUM on their books and no trading clients. Buy-side firms are asset managers, hedge funds, mutual funds, insurance companies and pension funds.
Any firm that have trading clients of their own - sell side tier 1, 2 and 3 banks, broker dealers, prime brokers, prime of primes, ETF providers, technology providers, platforms and venues - do not fall into the definition of a ‘buy-side’ firm. Proprietary trading firms will be treated on a case-by-case basis.
I hereby allow Worldwide Business Research to charge a “no show compensation” fee of €450 + VAT if applicable to my credit card if I or a nominated replacement fails to attend the main two day conference.
