RedburnConnect: the spirit of Redburn is one of innovation; born from this is RedburnConnect, a forum for educational events with an edge. These are designed specifically to help our fund manager colleagues learn more about their investment world. It will provide an environment in which to engage in open debate with industry experts, operational executives, experienced fund managers and financial academics. Our aim is for RedburnConnect to offer enlightenment and social interaction in equal measure, and to become a regular feature in your diary.
