Looking to the next 15 years - what's next?

Last week, David Jarman, Partner and Head of Financial Services, moderated a panel at the HFM European Operational Leader Summit. The discussion spotlighted trends, predictions and disruptors that fund managers need to keep on their radars.

The panel explored advancements in technology, particularly the rise of AI, alongside the ever-evolving compliance landscape. They debated the potential end of the traditional single manager hedge fund and the evolution of the COO role. 

This year also marked 15 years of this flagship summit and we were honoured to support it as a gold sponsor. The summit was held over two days and was well attended by over 230 European hedge fund leaders who all came together to connect, share insights and debate the direction of the industry.

Welcoming our new trainees

This month, we were thrilled to welcome our 2024 trainee intake to Buzzacott. 58 trainees have joined across 8 specialist teams and will be working towards their professional qualification. Our total headcount has now reached 630! We wish our new trainees every success in their careers with us.

“Trainee induction day is a very special day in the Buzzacott calendar and one that we start preparing for 12 months in advance. At Buzzacott we grow organically, and our trainee population are key to our continued success as a firm. It is anticipated that some of these new trainees will become future Partners of our firm.”

Fuelling wellbeing: a morning dedicated to mental health 

At Buzzacott, our people are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re dedicated to creating a healthy and supportive work environment. In August, our Mental Health Network hosted a drop-in breakfast session, creating a relaxed and supportive space for staff to connect and enjoy a delicious breakfast together.

The event provided an opportunity to discuss mental health and strengthen our sense of community.
