The FFF Professional Meet in 2024 was an exceptional event, spanning 19 cities from January to May, with each city gathering an exclusive group of 100 select MFDs. The one-day conference in each location kicked off with a warm welcome from the local association, followed by a traditional lamp-lighting ceremony led by prominent MFDs of the city.
A highlight of the event was the engaging Asset Allocation Game, hosted by Volatility Coach Kanak Jain, which provided participants with a fresh, hands-on approach to understanding asset allocation. The day was further enriched by inspiring success stories—both from MFDs and investors in each city—offering valuable insights and motivation.
Adding to the excitement, a senior fund manager, CEO, or officer from a leading AMC delivered a keynote address, sharing their expertise and perspectives on the market. The event concluded with a panel discussion featuring experts, including Zonal Heads of AMCs and specialists in P2P and LAS companies, providing in-depth knowledge and industry trends.
For MFDs, the FFF Professional Meet was more than just a conference—it was a unique networking opportunity. Participants had the chance to connect with FFFP representatives, AMC senior officials, and peers within their city, all while gaining a deeper understanding of asset allocation through the innovative game format.
