Money Maze Allocator Summit 2026

Simon Brewer and Will Campion, Co-Founders of the Money Maze Podcast, celebrated a significant milestone for the investment community by ringing the opening bell at LSEG on the second day of our annual Money Maze Allocator Summit.

The two-day Summit brought together an exceptional international group of allocators, asset managers, and leading thinkers to examine the major themes and developments influencing investment opportunities.

Taking place in the heart of the City of London, the event was created to encourage thoughtful debate, meaningful connections, and wide perspectives on the investment landscape. More thinking- less selling!

What a treat it was to join your second smash hit summit! As one investor rightly said, ‘the best gathering of key investors in the UK they’ve been to.’ [...] The Summit is fast becoming a key fixture in London’s investment calendar. London has long needed a gathering of global asset allocators and managers of this calibre.

Too many conferences are just dull. MMAS is nothing like that. It’s fascinating, engaging and fun. [...] One of the excellent things about MMAS is the way panels are put together to tease out complexities and commonalities. Genuinely, it’s extremely impressive. Bravo!
