About the Event

Funds Society is pleased to invite you to the first edition of the Funds Society Leaders Summit, which will take place on April 21st at Hotel AKA Brickell, Miami.

The Funds Society Leaders Summit is aimed at leaders in the asset and wealth management industry, an event created by the industry, for the industry.

On Tuesday, April 21st, we will host a full-day event focused on the topics that matter most to professionals in the sector. The agenda, designed in collaboration with CFA Society Miami, will feature top-tier speakers and experts from key areas such as asset management, private banking, family offices, pension funds, and insurance companies, who will discuss the major challenges and trends shaping the industry today.​ The program combines dynamic panel discussions with dedicated networking opportunities, and will conclude with a keynote session followed by a cocktail reception at Casa Zeru, providing the perfect setting to exchange impressions and continue networking.

 

The conference will be held at Hotel AKA Brickell, a sophisticated urban retreat located in Brickell's business district, overlooking Biscayne Bay.

If you have not yet registered, we encourage you to do so as soon as possible, as places are limited.

Funds Society GEN-WEALTH AWARDS: application is now open

 

The Gen-Wealth Awards are a Funds Society awards initiative, presented as part of the Funds Society Leaders Summit with CFA Society Miami, taking place in Miami on April 21. The awards recognize outstanding financial advisors and advisory teams at different career stages, honoring achievement in scale and growth—from rising talent to lifetime achievement.

 

A core goal of the Gen-Wealth Awards is to spotlight how different generations strengthen the leadership pipeline and support long-term continuity in the advisory industry. In addition to the individual awards by generation, the program includes a team category that highlights firms where multiple generations are actively working together in the advisory business.

Selections will be made jointly by CFA Society Miami and Funds Society.
