As one of the leading conferences in asset management for over 20 years, JIC is an essential fixture for fund selectors and researchers, who gather at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire for two days of insightful presentations and networking.
For 2026, we have evolved JIC to better reflect the challenges and opportunities facing fund selectors. JIC 2026 will continue to feature presentations on macroeconomic themes and industry trends from a range of experts and high-profile fund manager speakers from leading sponsoring groups.
However, for the first time the conference will also include power pitches and networking with some of the UK's leading boutique managers, bringing fresh perspectives and innovative ideas for generating alpha.
Keynote presentations from speakers on geopolitics and defence

In my opinion, the JIC continues to be the pinnacle of investment seminars in all areas, providing access to thought provoking external speakers, presentations from high-quality fund managers, without neglecting the benefits of networking opportunities. Last, but certainly not least, an amazing organising team.
Thank you all for such an excellent conference. My favourite of the year! Great location, very good line ups and immaculate service.
Excellent overall — good diverse range of breakouts, good platform speakers and panel discussion plus dinner/networking.
Very good external speakers, different views and observations from fund managers, wonderfully organised and just top notch.
