What partners say

Trusted By The Industry's Biggest Names

“I thoroughly enjoy these Finimize Summits. The questions cover so much ground and the quality from the audience always impresses me.”

Why the modern investor matters

Retail Investors Now Move The Market

Retail investors account for 25% of US stock market volume and 60% of options volume. How they discover, research and choose investments has changed, and so has the way you earn their attention and loyalty.

Modern investors are time-poor, action-oriented and community-driven. They want to hear from the people behind the products, in conversations about the markets they already follow. The Modern Investor Summit, our retail investor conference in New York, puts you in those conversations, face to face.

Partners

Built For The Brands Investors Want To Hear From

VanEck, BlackRock, Invesco, State Street, Cboe, CME Group, Robinhood, eToro and Charles Schwab have all backed the Summit.

For Asset Managers And ETF Issuers

Your funds, explained by your people, to investors with capital to allocate. The most direct form of ETF issuer retail marketing: face to face.

  • Reach investors ready to act: 57% of attendees have $25k+ to invest in the next 12 months, and 25% plan to invest $100k+
  • Put your strategists on stage: take a main-stage keynote or fireside in a theme you choose, in an off-script format investors trust
  • Own the theme, not just the slot: active ETFs, income or alternatives – co-create educational guides that keep working for 12 months, with theme exclusivity at the top tiers
  • Turn attention into pipeline: opt-in leads and full attendee data to follow up with investors who have already engaged with your ideas

“It is so exciting to see them bring this huge retail community to the active ETF story.”

Edward Malcolm, Managing Director, J.P. Morgan Asset Management

For Investing Platforms

Win new customers face to face, then keep the relationship going.

  • Meet active investors in one place: 98% actively invest and more than half have been investing for 5+ years
  • Drive sign-ups on the day: a booth on an expo floor investors cross all day, plus branded spaces like the coffee bar, pickleball court or recharge lounge
  • Stay with them all year: the event app, registration and WiFi keep your brand in view on the day, and guides keep you in their inbox for 12 months
  • Measure what it delivered: opt-in leads, post-event reporting and measured brand uplift, pre and post

“Thoughtful, engaging questions from investors who truly care and want to learn.”

Andrew McCormick, Head of US, eToro

The experience

High-Energy By Design

Most finance events serve up generic panels in forgettable rooms, so people switch off.

We've built the opposite: a festival-style Summit that answers the questions investors are actually asking, in a format they enjoy.

When it's engaging, they turn up, they stay, and they act.

Main stage

A marquee main stage for keynotes, headline sessions and fireside panels

Workshops

Breakout sessions to dive into specific topics and themes

Off-script speakers

48% of our speakers are president or C-level

Moments people remember

Branded activations and experiences including pickleball, VIP lounges, and live music
