Some of the world’s most respected hedge fund managers, investors and financial strategists will converge on Monaco on 24th June for the sixth edition of the Sohn Monaco Investment Conference, a unique event that combines market insights with a mission to advance paediatric cancer research.
Held under the High Patronage of Prince Albert II at the Yacht Club de Monaco, the annual conference has established itself as one of Europe’s most influential gatherings for the alternative investment community. The event brings together leading hedge fund managers, portfolio managers and institutional investors who share their highest-conviction investment ideas while raising funds to support paediatric cancer research, treatment and care.
The Monaco edition forms part of the global Sohn Conference network, which spans major financial centres including New York, London, Hong Kong, Montreal and San Francisco. Founded in memory of Wall Street professional Ira Sohn, who died from cancer at the age of 29, the conference series has become renowned for attracting some of the investment industry’s most respected voices while supporting life-changing medical research.
Newly announced speakers join impressive line-up
Among the latest additions to the 2026 programme are Jean-Luc Allavena, chairman of Atlantys in partnership with Apollo, and Kaspar Hållsten, chief investment officer and portfolio manager at Rhenman & Partners.
They join an international roster of investment professionals that includes Fawaz Chaudhry of Horizon Global Partners, Maggie Fanari of J. Rothschild Capital Management, Célia Fseil of Candriam, Vincent Ijaouane of Vigama Capital, Per Lekander of Clean Energy Transition, Angelo Meda of Banor, Harrison Moot of Sandstone, Alison Porter of Janus Henderson and Moni Sternbach of Haverstock Capital.
As with Sohn conferences around the world, speakers are expected to share original investment ideas and market perspectives, offering attendees direct insight into the thinking behind some of the industry’s most successful investment strategies.
Finance and healthcare leaders take the stage
The conference will also welcome several distinguished guests, including Monaco’s Minister of Finance and Economy, Frédéric Cottalorda, and Jean-François Peyron, research director at INSERM C3M.
Their participation reflects the conference’s dual focus on finance and philanthropy. While investors gather to discuss opportunities across global markets, the event’s ultimate objective remains supporting advances in paediatric cancer treatment and research through the work of the Sohn Conference Foundation.
Investing for impact
What distinguishes Sohn Monaco from many traditional investment conferences is its format. Rather than presenting fund performance or corporate marketing messages, speakers reveal specific investment ideas and the research behind them, giving attendees a rare opportunity to understand how leading investors identify opportunities and assess risk.
Since its launch in New York in 1995, the Sohn Conference Foundation has expanded into a global platform that combines education, networking and philanthropy. Today, its events continue to unite the international financial community around a shared goal: using the power of finance to support breakthroughs in healthcare and improve outcomes for children facing serious illnesses.
The 2026 Sohn Monaco Investment Conference will take place on Wednesday 24th June at the Yacht Club de Monaco, with registration opening at 12.30pm before an afternoon of presentations and discussions, followed by a networking cocktail reception.
