29th May 2025: Hong Kong’s hedge fund community to gather over drinks for old-school networking
The evening before the Sohn Hong Kong Investment Conference, on Thursday 29th May, the Hedge Funds Club will host a smashingly old-school evening reception for funds and investors at the retro-chic China Club in Hong Kong. This is a by-invitation-only event. Smiles, laughs and stories shared over drinks and nibbles.
The evening is generously sponsored by OP Investment Management, ECI, Ogier, AlphaSense, Marex, Financial Recovery Technologies, KX, London Stock Exchange Group, 3forge, State Street Global Advisors and ICE.
The focus of the evening is purely on people connecting and reconnecting. This is old-school, low-tech networking. There are no forced meetings. No apps. No name tags. No presentations. Nor any boring stuff.
The event is free of charge and by invitation only. Invitations are open to funds and investors. Drinks and some finger food will be served during the evening.
Registration
Hedge funds and investors can sign up for complimentary places at the event by contacting us.
Early registration is recommended as the event will be fully booked. Only those on the guest list will be admitted to the event. Invitations are not open to service providers.
HK’s finest came out to socialise at the China Club
A great Hedge Funds Club social evening in Hong Kong featured a large crowd, terrific tequila and delicious schragels.
Really good old-school networking requires a few key things. The main ones are terrific people and a hopping venue. Fortunately, the Hedge Funds Club had both when it hosted another busy and fun evening soiree in Hong Kong on 23rd October 2024. The evening also showed us that tequila and New York-style bagels are great to have when you want to create a fun night on the town for a hedge fund crowd.
The China Club is a retro-chic, Shanghai-style club on the top three floors of the old Bank of China Building. The decor is in the style of a traditional Chinese tea house. The floors, lighting and fans are reminiscent of 1930s Shanghai and there is some excellent retro-chic modern Chinese art on the walls. It is a splendid venue that has hosted many Hedge Funds Club evenings over the years. This evening the room was busy from the get-go as Hong Kong’s finest fund managers and smartest fund allocators turned up for an evening of old-school fun. OP Investment Management’s tequila stand was once again a popular place to start the drinking and the conversations.
Hedge funds and bagels go hand in hand. What’s better than bagels? Schragels of course. Rebecca Schrage is the founder and boss of Schragels, the only deli supplying New York-style bagels in Hong Kong. At the end of the evening, she handed out her excellent kettle-boiled and stone-baked schragels as leaving gifts to the good-looking and powerful crowd attending the Hedge Funds Club evening soiree.
Thank you to our amazing sponsors Ogier, OP Investment Management, 26 Degrees Global Markets, London Stock Exchange Group, Financial Recovery Technologies, ECI, Krypton Fund Services, Solas, TS Imagine, Cassini, SS&C, Third Bridge, State Street Global Advisors and TMX Group.
Also, a big clap-your-hands-say-yeah to all the attendees. What a great crowd! It is always about people (and sometimes bagels and tequila).
A packed China Club celebrated the vibrant Hong Kong hedge fund community
Hong Kong’s hedge fund community came out to play when the Hedge Funds Club hosted its popular and fully booked networking evening on 22nd May 2024. The China Club in the Old Bank of China Building was packed with hundreds of hedge fund managers, family offices, fund allocators and investors. Hong Kong’s finest and some visiting guests gathered over drinks, food and great conversations. As always, the evening was focused on low-tech, old-school networking. The OPIM tequila stand was once again a major crowd-pleaser! “It was an evening full of laughter with great people connecting and old friends reconnecting. It was one of the busiest and best Hedge Funds Club evenings ever”, said founder Stefan Nilsson.
A big cheers and tip of the hat to the evening’s sponsors Ogier, OP Investment Management, 26 Degrees Global Markets, London Stock Exchange Group, Financial Recovery Technologies, ECI, Marex, Qraft, Krypton Fund Services, Finalto, Parameta Solutions and Broadridge.
Our next flagship networking event in Hong Kong will take place on 23rd October 2024, but we have events in Singapore and Sydney before that.
Funds and investors, please email us to register for complimentary places at our by-invitation-only events.
The Hedge Funds Club and Hong Kong
We have been hosting networking and knowledge events in Asia since 2005. The Hedge Funds Club successfully expanded into Hong Kong in 2009 where the first Hong Kong Hedge Funds Club event took place at Sir David Tang’s retro-chic, Shanghai-style China Club in the Old Bank of China Building. We have hosted many Hong Kong events at the China Club and have also held many terrific events at Club Lusitano.
