On Thursday, May 28th, the XV edition of the Rankia Funds Experience Portugal took place at the Epic Sana Marquês Hotel in Lisbon, marking a landmark moment in the history of our flagship event in the region. Reaching the fifteenth edition is a significant milestone, and this gathering proved to be a worthy celebration of everything this forum stands for.
We welcomed more than 60 professional investors from across Portugal for a day defined by strategic dialogue, market foresight, and high-quality networking — making this milestone edition a true celebration of excellence.
Designed specifically for fund selectors, advisors, private bankers, and family offices, the XV edition provided a dynamic and intimate environment to bridge the gap between global asset managers and local investment professionals, fostering opportunities to uncover resilient strategies in an ever-evolving market landscape.
Throughout the day, attendees engaged directly with representatives from eight prestigious global asset management firms. We were honored to be joined by BNY Mellon Investment Management, DNB Asset Management, Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management, La Française, Lazard Asset Management, MFS Investment Management, Natixis Investment Managers, and Ofi Invest Asset Management.
The event followed our signature structure, balancing knowledge-sharing with meaningful connection:
The XV edition of the Rankia Funds Experience Portugal was not just another event — reaching this fifteenth edition is a milestone that reflects the trust, consistency, and growing relevance this forum has built within the Portuguese financial community. Edition after edition, it has served as a cornerstone of the local asset management industry, and this year's gathering was no exception.
We would like to extend our most heartfelt gratitude to all the asset management firms and the community of Portuguese professional investors who made this anniversary edition an extraordinary success. It is your continued participation and engagement that give this forum its unique value.
We are already looking to the future with great excitement and anticipation. We are pleased to announce that the XVI edition of the Rankia Funds Experience Portugal will take place on November 26th, 2026.
We look forward to continuing this journey with you and to delivering another exceptional edition worthy of our shared commitment to excellence in investment networking.
