2020 marked the first year of the Trinity SMF Alternative Investments Conference. The purpose of this new initiative was to introduce SMF members to alternative asset classes, including, but not limited to, private equity, hedge funds and venture capital. The conference consists of a panel discussion from influential leaders with the aim of creating a forum for rich dialogue and debate between leading figures within alternative investments and our members. Crucially, students have the opportunity to meet, ask questions and draw inspiration from those in attendance. It is a thriving industry which is why we would like students to be able to learn about and understand the opportunities within the industry.
