We closed the month of May with the IX edition of Rankia Funds Lisbon, at EPIC SANA Marquês Hotel, with the aim of fostering networking among asset managers and professionals in asset management in Portugal.

On May 25th, we had the opportunity to share a day with eight international asset managers and over 60 professionals from the fund industry in Portugal. Throughout the day, both managers and professionals exchanged their insights on the country’s asset management industry and had the chance to firsthand learn about eight investment ideas through their respective portfolio managers.
