All buy side passes are carefully vetted. If you register for a buy side pass and do not qualify as buy side under our criteria (see below), your pass *will* be cancelled and you may not be informed.
‘Buy-side’ firms are any end-user clients with +250m AUM on their books and no trading clients. Qualifying buy-side firms are asset managers, hedge funds, mutual funds, insurance companies, pension funds, CTAs, corporates, and select proprietary trading firms.
Any firm that have trading clients of their own or trade on behalf of other asset managers - sell side tier 1, 2 and 3 banks, broker dealers, prime brokers, prime of primes, ETF providers (including asset manager ETF issuers), outsourced trading desks, technology providers, platforms and venues - do not fall into the definition of a ‘buy side’ firm.
