NextGen IR

The rise in the alternative market and the increasing level of sophistication of investors calls on a new generation of investor relations professionals who can cater to the informational needs of investors and help bridge the gap between market needs and investment activity. The Next Generation in Investor Relations ("NGIR") network was established in 2021 with the goal to create a forum for the benefit of junior-mid level, working professionals in the investor relations private fund industry ranging from entry level to VP / Director in order to facilitate knowledge sharing. Group members will meet to share their experiences and benefit from networking and educational opportunities. Regular events including guest speakers, networking socials, educational seminars are being held covering a multitude of topics of interest.
