Money Maze Allocator Summit

The Money Maze Podcast marked a landmark moment for the investment community by launching the first of our annual Money Maze Allocator Summits.

Our two-day event convened an elite international roster of allocators, asset managers, and thought leaders, picked to explore the critical forces shaping the global investing landscape.

Hosted in the heart of the City of London, at the London Stock Exchange’s magnificent headquarters, we designed the summit to establish and debate non-consensus insights, for guests to develop powerful connections, and share forward-looking investment perspectives.

Among the speakers, moderators and panellists were some of the most well-respected leaders in the industry, including Todd Boehly, Sir Chris Hohn, Annachiara Marcandalli, Tilly Franklin and General Sir Patrick Sanders.

To widen the lens, we also welcomed the likes of Sir Nick Clegg, Emily Maitlis, Dr Andrew Steele, General Sir Patrick Sanders and Peter Frankopan.

The reviews from those who attended have been extraordinarily positive. Thank you all of you who made it possible, and MMAS 2026 beckons!

Potent Discussions

By combining bold programming with access to highly respected leaders in institutional finance, MMAS positions itself as an industry necessity for those keen to truly understand the dynamics of the fast-changing global economy.

The annual gathering of executives and sector experts provides a platform for intelligently argued and refreshingly direct discourse, backed by the principles of Chatham House rules and mutual trust.

The landmark two day summit offers our community the chance to meet and network with past guests and fellow listeners; fully engaged and in real-time!

The Dinner

The events of the first day are followed by a dinner, previously held at Mansion House (a historic City of London landmark, which has bore witness to pivotal moments in global economic history since its inception in the 1740s).

Attendees were addressed by the Lord Mayor, Alistair King, who explained some vital initiatives being developed by both government and industry to ensure the continued success of the UK finance and professional services sectors. This was then followed by a hilarious performance from BAFTA award winning comedian, Rory Bremner!

Many thanks to AIMA for kindly sponsoring our first dinner!

GAIN - Girls Are INvestors

The Money Maze Podcast was also in proud partnership with GAIN, our charitable partners for the duration of the Allocator Summit.

GAIN is a UK charity that aims to increase gender diversity in the investment management industry. It provides educational programs, career support, and networking opportunities for young women and students to help them pursue careers in finance.

You and your team put on a fantastic event. I appreciated the diversity of topics, high quality of the speakers and panelists, and the enjoyable attendees. At Princeton, we rarely attended conferences, as we had a generally negative view of them, but your event was quite different than what I’ve seen in the past. You put on a very high-quality gathering!

You guys smashed it! Honestly everyone I spoke to agreed that this was how to do a proper, useful, thought provoking and enjoyable conference. Wonderful set of speakers/panels, great invite list, great venues and I’m still chucking at Rory Bremner!!
