Next Wave IRA Sohn Investment Conference 2014 showcases rising stars

This year’s IRA Sohn Investment Conference 2014 has a new addition – before the main event the Next Wave Sohn: Emerging Hedge Fund Managers conference will give some of the rising stars of the investment world a chance to share their insights. Running from 9:30 – 11:15, the panel will include Indus Capital partner and co-portfolio manager Ethan Devine, CIO and CEO of Tourbillon Capital Partners Jason Karp, founding and managing partner of Long Pond Capital John Khoury, Kora Management CIO Nitin Saigal, and Marianas Fund founder Will Snellings. The event is included for Sohn Investment Conference ticket holders, but can also be attended separately.

The main event runs from noon to 5:30, and the list of speakers reads like who’s who of the investment world. Pershing Square Capital Management CEO Bill Ackman, Greenlight Capital president David Einhorn, Glenview Capital CEO Larry Robbins, Shumway Capital CEO Chris Shumway, Principal Fortress Investment Group Michael Novogratz, CEO Coatue Management Philippe Laffont, CEO and CIO of DoubleLine Jeffrey Gundlach, and Grant’s Interest Rate Observer founder James Grant among many others will take the stage to share their view on what’s happening in the world of finance and how you can become a better investor (check the full list of conference speakers here).
